"Praise for Threader Origins “It’s rare to get ‘thought-provoking’ and ‘page-turner’ in the same novel, but Brandt has done it, and then some!” —Jason M. Hough, New York Times bestselling author of The Darwin Elevator “Threader Origins is a compelling, thought-provoking look at the potential in each of us, and society itself, that never falters or flinches. Breathtakingly original and memorable, I can’t wait to see where Brandt goes with this new series. A must read!” —Julie E. Czerneda, author of the Web Shifter’s Library series “Gerald Brandt knocks it out of the park again! Quantum physics, parallel worlds, and a rip-roaring plot—what more could you want? In some reality, this book will win major awards — not just because all quantum possibilities do occur but because it bloody well deserves to.” —Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author of Hominids ""The unlikely hero and innovative use of physics as a basis for magiclike abilities results in a memorable adventure.
