Quantum Magician - Book Review
Quantum Magician, by Derek Künsken, was not a book per se, but serialized in Analog. I understand it will be released later in the year as a book, though.
It is an SF novel which features a number of human races created by genetic engineering. The main character has enhanced smarts, a savant mode and a quantum fugue that blocks his personality so that he becomes a quantum computer (no observer) - pretty clever. He also has other features such as a magnetic sense.
There are a few others - such as the puppets, which were biologically engineered to think the numen (other engineered people) were gods. That went, of course poorly.
These and some more will be required for a huge scam to move a group of ships.
Overall, I really loved it. I really recommend getting it when the book is available.
