Supersymmetry by David Walton
This is the sequel to David Walton’s Superposition, a book that I just found to be a dynamite blend of science, action, suspense, and heart. The book is billed as a “quantum physics thriller.” I frequently quite comfortable jump into a series one or two books in, but in this instance I’m glad I read these books in order, and I highly suggest you do the same!
Supersymmetry’s themes are “epic,” as one might expect from a thriller that puts the fate of the planet in the characters’ hands, but this book nevertheless lacks Superposition’s rich character development and scientific context. However, the fact that it is a sequel and that the main characters are now his daughters who are attempting to thwart global dominance has much to do with the shift in focus and lead character set.
The addition of female leads opens the door for family rivalry and love diversions, both of which Walton, in my opinion, very skillfully handled. Walton maintains a fast pacing throughout, and the dialogue is once again snappy and enjoyable with some excellent comedic elements thrown in. He also presents an interesting future geo-political scenario and a killer countdown.
It was always going to be difficult for me to surpass Superposition, but I applaud Walton for coming close with this follow-up. Another easily readable and compelling action-thriller that I had a hard time putting down is Supersymmetry. A series that is strongly advised.
About The Book
The bright and neurotic physicist Ryan Oronzi has created a quantum military technology that could render soldiers almost indestructible in combat. However, the technology feeds the varcolac, a quantum being that slowly starts to control Dr. Oronzi and take over his mind. In the end, the varcolac uses Oronzi as a pawn in its attempt to rule the globe.
The two Alessandra Kelleys who are still alive as distinct individuals, Sandra and Alex Kelley, who were in charge of putting an end to the beast fifteen years prior, are attacked right away. Despite the possibility that doing so could result in their merging once more into one person, the two young women must battle the varcolac.
The Review
Supersymmetry
9.5 Score
The sequel to Superposition is at least its equal, but possibly better with more characters who contribute to the story. The prose is crafted as well as any best-selling ‘thriller’ to allow the reader to sprint or stroll as he desires. There is enough detail and character development to tell an engaging story, but no superfluous parts. These two books are amazing accomplishments considering their immensely complex foundation in quantum physics.
