Quantum

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.

When these excursions drift into virtual and eventually real, physical interstellar travel, serious questions of opposition arise from unexpected sources. A source of artificial intelligence on one world is questioning whether our species is fit to join the interstellar alliance. Are other worlds in this galaxy willing to accept a war-like species into their neighborhood? A species that destroys their own planet and makes it unsuitable to live on? After an example of opposition from one world, would the rest of the galaxy even allow them to exist?
