We saw in the first of the Quantum series that a teenager at a science fair gets mixed up with a parent’s "quantum entanglement" experiment, a phenomenon that Einstein said was impossible. This quirk of the quantum world, through a little help from these Earth scientists, results in a communication link with similar scientist on a recently discovered exoplanet.

When a friend and colleague of Jake Prescott dies mysteriously during a morning run in Stanley Park, Vancouver Police involve Jake in the case. Jake discovers that his archenemy, Kurt Landau is behind not only his friend's death, but the death of many others.

Constance Wilson and Nicolo Amati were born at the same time, on the same day, but exactly two years apart. Not only two years apart, but from worlds over eight thousand miles apart. A difference in both time and space. Time and space, two terms these two people would learn about later in life. They would learn that they could not control the time part of this problem, and were always faced with this two year intermission for the rest of their lives. They did learn however, that they could control the space.

A life filled with change and challenges, during periods of growth that included epidemics, gold rushes, race-riots, opium, gambling and whore houses.

In the first two volumes of the 'Quantum Series', a group of earth-based quantum and astro-physicists working on quantum entanglement, manage to accidentally communicate with an exoplanet about forty lightyears away. Even though they realized this was impossible, they continued their experiments, resulting in an 'interstellar' liaison of historic proportions, opening up a new era in the science of communications, political and scientific cooperation.
