About the Book

A quantum physicist shocks the world with a startling experiment, igniting a struggle between science and theology, free will and fate, and antagonizing forces not known to exist. Eric Argus is a washout. His prodigious early work clouded his reputation and strained his sanity. But an old friend gives him another chance, an opportunity to step back into the light. With three months to produce new research, Eric replicates the paradoxical double-slit experiment to see for himself the mysterious dual nature of light and matter. A simple but unprecedented inference blooms into a staggering discovery about human consciousness and the structure of the universe. His findings are celebrated and condemned in equal measure, but no one can predict where the truth will lead. And as Eric seeks to understand the unfolding revelations, he must evade shadowy pursuers who believe he knows entirely too much already.

Review :
"A first-rate thriller." -- "Booklist" "A high-speed thriller...The pages turn rapidly with well-orchestrated suspense." -- "New York Times" "An original, smart physics thriller...Kosmatka writes with great skill and...sells his concepts so well that it's hard to pinpoint where the real science ends...A fun, exciting read." -- "Missourian" "Brilliant...This well-written and fast-paced scientific thriller builds into beautiful and suspenseful crescendo." -- "Library Journal (starred review)" "If Stephen Hawking and Stephen King wrote a novel together, you'd get The Flicker Men. Brilliant, disturbing, and beautifully told." -- "Hugh Howey, New York Times bestselling author" "Keith Szarabajka's narration captures the intensity of the story...Szarabajka's voices are well done--in particular, those of a villain who is hell-bent on obstructing Angus' work, an Indian colleague whose singsong intonation is consistent and appropriate, and a menacing henchmen from Down Under." -- "AudioFile" "Kosmatka effectively harnesses his impressive imagination in the service of a mind-blowing plot in this outstanding SF thriller...Ingenious plot twists, well-realized characters, and superior prose elevate this above similar books." -- "Publishers Weekly (starred review)" "Kosmatka has taken a complex scientific paradox and turned it into a rapid race against time." -- "Shelf Awareness" "Kosmatka's novel delivers a number of thrills, along with believable science and ominous themes." -- "Kirkus Reviews" "So intriguing that I was able to enjoy the book even though I personally didn't understand all the aspects of the experiment...The story walked a fine line between science and science-fiction, and should please fans of both." -- "Mystery Scene Magazine" "The most interesting science thriller I've read this year...The Flicker Men twists the weird implications of the [double-slit] experiment into a narrative that is both surprising and philosophically rich...A five-star read." -- "Science Thrillers"
