Sinossi
Alla vigilia di una missione spaziale top secret, il capitano Calli Chase si rende conto che nei tunnel sotterranei del centro di ricerca della NASA qualcosa non va. Pilota della NASA, ingegnere aerospaziale e investigatrice specializzata in cybercriminalità, Calli sa bene che una tempesta incombente, unita a un guasto nei sistemi di sicurezza, può fornire la copertura perfetta per un sabotaggio, con conseguenze fatali. Ma il pericolo è persino peggiore: tracce di sangue secco nei sotterranei, un badge di sicurezza mancante, uno strano suicidio... tutto fa convergere i sospetti sulla gemella di Calli, Carme, scomparsa in missione da giorni. Nel disperato tentativo di evitare la catastrofe e riabilitare l'immagine della sorella, il capitano Chase deve mettere in campo tutte le sue conoscenze e affrontare un passato familiare doloroso. Mentre il tempo sta per scadere, Calli si rende conto che fallire significa mettere la parola fine non solo a un importante programma spaziale ma alla sicurezza di un'intera nazione. Una serie thriller dove cybercriminali, forze governative e un'eroina si danno la caccia nel disperato tentativo di impedire - o favorire - un drammatico sabotaggio.

Recensioni
Last year I read the last Sue Grafton in the alphabet series and was disappointed. Turns out she had a terminal illness so I feel bad for my critical review. I don’t think Cornwell has that excuse. It’s been a long time since I read a Patricia Cornwell mystery, but I remember them as fast-paced with Leggi tutto
Patricia Cornwell's long-running 'Kay Scarpetta' series is about a talented medical examiner who helps catch sadistic killers. Kay works with a thorny detective; has a brilliant niece; and experiences angst about her man. Cornwell's new book Quantum goes in a different direction, but has a similar v Leggi tutto

I can't believe Patricia Cornwell wrote this. I started reading this on Kindle Unlimited, and kept thinking I skipped a page, or missed a paragraph. NOTHING made sense - so choppy, purposefully vague and misleading, completely not engaging at all. I stopped reading after literally nothing had happen Leggi tutto
I'm sorry to say this was a huge disappointment. I admit to never having read any Patricia Cornwell but her reputation as one of the foremost crime writers, especially via her Scarpetta series, had me very excited to pick this up as a First Reads selection. Sadly, that was the end of the excitement. Leggi tutto
There are a few authors for whom I'll move heaven and earth to carve out enough time to read their latest efforts; Patricia Cornwell is among them. So when I got a chance to read a pre-publication copy free through the Amazon Early Access program, well, how fast can you say one-click? For years, you Leggi tutto
(No storyline spoilers) I just finished this book and am unhappy that I wasted a few hours reading it. I feel that the author was a little arrogant because of the success of her other series and forgot she was telling a new story. It seems that the comma button on Ms. Corwell’s typewriter was broken Leggi tutto
What a difficult book! I give it 1.5 stars. It was an exhausting read, and I used it to help me fall asleep, which was effective. Written in first person, the story is continuously interrupted by the character's chaotic thoughts. I think the book could have been cut in half with just one chapter con Leggi tutto
