A hyper-fast quantum computer is the digital equivalent of a nuclear bomb; whoever possesses one will be able to shred any encryption and break any code in existence. The question is: who will build one first, the U.S. or China?

In this gripping thriller, U.S. quantum research labs are compromised by a suspected Chinese informant, inciting a mole hunt of history-altering proportions. CIA officer Harris Chang leads the charge, pursuing his target from Singapore to Mexico and beyond. Do the leaks expose real secrets, or are they false trails meant to deceive the Chinese? The answer forces Chang to question everything he thought he knew about loyalty, morality, and the primacy of truth.

What Risingshadow readers think about this book

8/10

Overall, I liked the book.  I liked that it did not spend much time defining the quantum computing technology, and it didn’t need to.  As a spy thriller, it was not action packed.  There was no super spy or anti-hero.  The side story of racism and discrimination in the espionage community was different for a thriller but it made me root for the main character and despise his superiors.  The author should consider a sequel but have the ending be less predictable.  Still, it was worth the read and I plan to read more.
