Quantum Ridge - Valsorda, David

. .

Résumé :
For love, money, power… or vengeance? For historian Jacob Atlas Roy, the newest member of a hastily thrown together Interdimensional Task Force, that is the question - Why would someone leave their world behind… to travel through time? But at the site of the team's fourth 'Tear', deep in a forest outside of Munich, there can only be one reason. To play in one universe… with the devil of another. Because in Germany there is one man who stands above all others in infamy. One who can flip modern history like no other. While Roy and his IDTF team scramble to follow a fast vanishing bread-trail back in time, they must contend too with a Ridge on the precipice of collapse. With history stacked, universe upon universe, the only option Roy will have to save his world… will be to enter another of infinite possibility… How different could it be?

Biographie:
DAVID VALSORDA, an Australian author local to the inner north of Melbourne Victoria. After attending LaTrobe University, he worked as both an electrician and firefighter before completing his first novel. Somewhat slow to adopt writing as a serious endeavour, it would be a misspent youth - buried in books, video games, and cinema (specifically an eye-opening screening of Event Horizon) - that would foster his love of space and space-time, and thus plant within him the initial quandary of Quantum Ridge - What if there was a way to travel back in time? In Quantum Ridge - a fast-paced action-adventure tale - David pays homage to a lifetime of both scientific and science-fiction fascination whilst staying true to the realism of combat and sacrifice. Exploring the paradoxes of time-travel, parallel universes, inherent right and wrong, and the costs associated - both macro and micro - of attempting to change history, it is a book written for those who will forever question - what if...? David lives with his wife Georgina and their newborn son Roy and still serves his community via the Metropolitan Fire Brigade's Carlton Fire station.
