Über diesen Titel

Brought to you by Penguin.

Life can exist anywhere. And anywhere there is life, there is home.

In the swirling clouds of Venus, the families of la colonie live on floating plant-like trawlers, salvaging what they can in the fierce acid rain and crackling storms. Outside is dangerous, but humankind's hold on the planet is fragile and they spend most of their days simply surviving.

But Venus carries its own secrets, too. In the depths, there is a wind that shouldn't exist.

And the House of Styx wants to harness it.

 Science Fiction Space Opera Weltraumerkundung

Kritikerstimmen

"A boldly ambitious debut."
"An audacious con job, scintillating future technology, and meditations on the nature of fractured humanity."
"Künsken has a wonderfully ingenious imagination."
"Technology changes us-even our bodies-in fundamental ways, and Kunsken handles this wonderfully."
"I have no problems raving about this book. A truly wild backdrop of space-opera with wormholes, big space-fleet conflict and empires.... What could go wrong?"
"This brainy sci-fi heist novel uses mathematics like magic to pull you through a caper worthy of Jean-Pierre Melville."
"The Quantum Magician is the type of book you go back to the beginning and read again once you know how everything pans out and have those 'why didn't I see that the first time?' moments."
"A delightfully engaging heist story."
"The Quantum Magician is a space adventure built on the scaffolding of a classic con job movie (think The Italian Job or Ocean's Eleven). It hits all the right beats at the right time, and part of the fun in reading it is wondering: what will go wrong? Who will betray who? What will be the reversals? When done well, as in the case of The Quantum Magician, it's a delight to read."
"The Quantum Magician feels like what would happen if Locke Lamora landed in Bank's Culture, and if Locke had a lot to say about depraved humans. And I do love me a con artist story! Also? The writing is brilliant, the pacing is damn near perfect, the dialog is fun and snarky, the characters are great, I couldn't put this book down!"

I'm not a native English speaker so it was a bit confusing and sometimes hard to understand everthing. But I really liked the story and I might listen to it again in the future.

I liked that every family member is unique and has their own story. The atmosphere and this sci-fi-scenario are super cool.

I loved Pascalle's journey. It taught me so much and helped me to understand how trans people feel and how hard it can be to find yourself and appreciate who you really are. I wish more books had characters like her.

Great

Family drama set against the deadly inhospitality of Venus. Starts bleak and interesting. Fails to carry the key plot forward. Too long-winded as a preamble for a sequel.

Unfinished
