In the depths, there is a wind that shouldn't exist.And the House of Styx wants to harness it."Technology changes us—even our bodies—in fundamental ways, and Kunsken handles this wonderfully" –Cixin Liu on The Quantum Magician

Homo QuantusBelisarius is a quantum man, an engineered Homo quantus who fled the powerful insight of dangerously addictive quantum senses. He found a precarious balance as a con man, but when a client offers him untold wealth to move a squadron of warships across an enemy wormhole, he must embrace his birthright to even try. In fact, the job is so big that he'll need a crew built from all the new sub-branches of humanity.If he succeeds, he might trigger an interstellar war, but success might also point the way to the next step of Homo quantus evolution.
