The Quantum Curators and the Great Deceiver
Trapped on Beta Earth, Julius has no memory of the past two years, and everything feels wrong. As he struggles to make sense of his surroundings, he is taken under the wing of a very unexpected group of people and their existence will change everything.
Back on Alpha Earth, treacherous coalitions with the worst of Beta humanity are being formed and only Neith knows the full extent of the danger. Searching for help, she approaches those she trusts, but each encounter ends in violent death. She is on her own.
Julius and his new friends need to return to Alpha to prevent the domination of his planet and rescue Neith. As they close in, they discover she has been making her own desperate plans, but is her solution too high a price?
Can they save Earth from annihilation or has time finally run out for the Quantum Curators?
Join the Quantum Curators today for a fast paced and witty adventure across time and space.

From the brilliant recap and teaser to start, which placed me right back into the thick of Quantum Curators’ action, to the wonderful conclusion at the end … what a ride! This fifth instalment didn’t hold any punches and made no apologies, beautifully concluding this debut series from the author and giving me a new favourite to follow. I couldn’t put it down.

1-3 def stronger. But glad I finished it up. Never can understand what makes something YA or not - I guess maybe because the protagonists are not adolescents? This is very solidly PG - lots of actions but chaste and relatively non-violent. Cute and fun. Good for recovery after Paradais!

Once More into the Breach
“Across the sands of Egypt, the deadly daughter possessed of all her father's subversive secrets and driven by his unquenchable thirst for power, has pillage for the key to its ancient mysteries - and therefore leadership over all the East.”
This description of Sax Rohmer’s 1931 “Daughter of Fu-Manchu”, fourth in his Fu-Manchu series of nefarious plotting for world domination, might well apply to this latest offering from Eva St John’s tales of quantum stepping between parallel universes and timelines by her merry band of time travelers.
Eva St John’s 2023 “The Quantum Curators and the Great Deceiver” is the fifth installment of this sort of B-movie you might recall seeing on rainy weekends before the feature show. Be forewarned: this is a series you should read from the beginning.
The main characters - Julius Strathclyde from Beta Earth (our world) and Neith Salah from Alpha Earth (a parallel world) along with other personalities from earlier installments - are recovering from exploits of prior episodes nearly destroying their Alpha home base at Alexandria, Egypt,
All is not well in Alphaville due to the concealed designs of the shadowy Minju Chen, who has secretive plans now that she has replaced the recently deceased top dog aka Pharoah. While distracting the public with plans to build an elaborate Alpha Earth center for artifacts retrieved from Beta Earth, Minju is seriously manipulating various administrative groups around her - from custodians to curators, archivists to engineers - to achieve her ends.
With almost a snap of her fingers, Minju wipes Julius’ memories and sends him through the quantum jumper, aka ‘the stepper”, back to Beta Earth. He has few hints of where he has been, Meanwhile, Neith, his Alpha Earth partner, is struggling off the ropes from her own near-death experiences and realizing Minju is up to no good.
And there are traces of other parallel worlds with Firenze, “a sort of superhuman from another reality…a blend of human and quantum intelligence, fashioned by Leonardo da Vinci”. Here prior battles with mythological gods had been waged by Julius, Neith and Beta comrades in the good old days of the previous installment. You see what I mean about staying up-to-date?
But now the sinister Minju has enhanced her muscle with imported lost legions of Roman, Viking and other warriors. How did they get here? What evil lurks in the heart of Minju? Will Julius and Neith ever be reunited?
Pass the popcorn and mind the steps.

Great ending
Thankfully it's not a final visit and the future holds a second series... I really do want more... so much more...
We open with Julius' return to Beta as an Angel but he doesn't do well with the memory fudging and his new position at Cambridge is at risk when he starts to experience weird side effects that include speaking fluent Arabic during a lecture and horrendous debilitating headaches. A chance, he thinks, meeting brings him to a group of people who are in a unique position to assist him and revive the memories of Alpha. Can he assist them as much as they assist him?
Neith is meantime trying to find someone to trust on Alpha while pandering to Minju in order to track what's going on. One by one the people she trusts are swept out of play by the devious woman and she even manages to kill Pharaoh Cleeve and secure the position for herself. Can Minju pull off the coup of the multiverse? Can Neith stop Minju's relentless dangerous game?
Ramin has stumbled upon some of Minju's plans but his search for more information flags Minju's attention and she deftly moves him out of play. Neith gets deeper trying to save him but will it be enough?
Clio is still running rogue, her own mission is to ensure that Anansi's mind block is removed from the right people so the truth can be seen and she's also flitting around in the background supporting Jack who's skills Minju cannot do without. But can she find the right person and step back in time to stop Minju?
Poor Jack; Minju is threatening all he holds dear, Sabrina, his family and his friends. But can he make Neith understand the danger or will her recent promotions and closeness to Minju prevent her from seeing the truth? Can Jack engineer freedom for himself and stop Minju's trades with Beta?
Neith, Ramin, Jack, Julius and Clio all know something is deeply wrong with Minju but none of them dares confide in each other because of their ties. Will their need to protect one another prevent them from saving both Alpha and Beta from destruction?

This is the last one of this series -- at least so far. The overall story is well wrapped up, so that's good. I admit I liked the first one or two better than the next couple, but this one was enjoyable. Basically, the Alpha Earth knows that it's not the only one in the multiverse -- which it had known as it had discovered Beta Earth (which is kinda our earth) and been sending people here for years to rescue artifacts about to be destroyed by war or natural disaster. But then they discover that there are other versions of Earth as well and some of those beings visit Alpha. War and deception ensues -- which is especially hard on the citizens as there's a sort of Utopia in place and most can't begin to understand what's going on. But there are nefarious players using the society's beliefs against them.
Which is where this book begins. The 'war' is over. The group of friends from the previous books are broken up -- no one knows who to trust and Julius has been sent back to Beta Earth. The entire population except for a very few is under the influence of an implanted memory which enables Minju Chen to take power. Her stated aim is to build an Arts Center and encourage creativity among alphas, but Neith knows there's more to it. Clio has escaped somehow. Ramin doesn't understand Neith's distance. Jack's work is secret but his partner is becoming suspicious. And Julius is not re-adjusting to Beta Earth until he meets some other stranded curators. When they discover what Minju is really up to, the pace definitely picks up.

Great series…but not the best book
I really enjoyed this series and even much of this book. I loved having Julius back in Beta…BUT I felt that the author got so rushed into getting to her ending that she made mistakes and left her readers feeling that it wrapped up too quickly.
SPOILER ALERT
Neith’s solution solved the whole problem and could have been done at any time. There wasn’t any reason for the rest of the book. According to the philosophy of death in Alpha it would have been completely reasonable. The only reason for the return of Julius and Clio was to save Neith and Minju for the next book.
Likewise Jack with his armbands could have gone anywhere he wanted to, returning any-when. He wasn’t a curator but that didn’t seem to matter for others. Sabrina could have been hopping around too.
There are many endearing characters and subplots here but the author should put a bit more time into plugging her plot holes.
Finally. Google. If you Google “what language is spoken in Afghanistan” the answer will be: Dari and Pushtu. Even SIRI knows that and I don’t trust her on most things. Wait let me try Alexa. Yup. She knows it too. NOBODY speaks Arabic in Afghanistan unless they are a foreigner from an Arabic speaking country.

What would you do and what sacrifices would you be willing to make if everyone and everything you loved were in danger? How far would you be willing to go to save them? These are just some of the questions faced by Neith Salah and Julius Strathclyde as they fight to save themselves and all they hold dear from a megalomaniac pharaoh who seeks to create a new world order. Fortunately for Neith and Julius, they are aided in their quest for a mixture of old friends and new, each of whom bring their unique talents to bear in saving Alpha Earth from itself. This fast paced story takes the reader on a daring thrill ride as secrets are revealed, mysteries are solved and questions are answered all leading to the dramatic and surprising ending of this portion of the Quantum Curators’ adventurers as what is past becomes prologue for that which is to come.
By way of disclosure, l am a Bera reader for this author but that did not influence my review. The Quantum Curators is a fabulous series.

Wow!
I started reading this and only reluctantly stopped because it was 2am, the central heating had gone off hours before and it was just too cold to sit up reading in bed any longer - otherwise I'd have read through the night. I started again within 15 minutes of waking up - as soon as the caffeine kicked in!
It is a really great finale to the series. The previous book had finished on such a cliff-hanger, I was intrigued to see how everything could possibly work out. COULD it even work out?
The pace was really well sustained right up to the end and the plot added further ingenious twists to what was already one of the best thought-out alternative, fictional Universes I've come across.
A recommended read!

Received an advance copy for review - and it is a fun ride. A fast-paced page turner.
Eva St John's QC series returning characters have schemes to carry out or commitments to derail those schemes. They all bring energy, imagination, and snappy dialogue to their personal missions.
The story zips along with fun twists, sad events, and more than a few tight squeezes for the protagonists. Time travel, multiverse, weapons of mass destruction, and cultural treasures make for
A small bevy of idiosyncratic new curators appear bringing added skills, insights, and wise cracks.
While the story wraps up many of the threads from prior volumes, it also lays options for new adventures. Hope we'll soon see more episodes of Julius, Neith, and even Clio.

What a way to finish a series - excellent stuff
The final installment starts with Julius back on Beta Earth, with no memory of the past two years. Luckily for us he realises something feels wrong.
This very neatly ties up loose ends mentioned in earlier books which help both Julius and Neith. There are echoes of modern times in here, which I've decided are not a coincidence - warnings here for everyone.
What a great shame there are no more QC books at the moment. I truly hope there will be more and will now have to read whatever else Eva St. John has written in the meantime and also found something else to get stuck into, although I doubt it will be anywhere near as good as this.

The Quantum Curators and the Great Deceiver: 5
This is the latest in the series and possibly the most suspenseful and exciting. The writing is of the same quality as the previous four books and takes us into the worlds of the Quantum Curators where all of the questions previously raised are answered. Our heroes of course have all manner of obstacles to overcome which they mostly do with some judgement, skill and a lot of luck.
Whilst the book is a wrap up and answers all that has gone before, so that people can settle down to work at fixing things. The door has been left slightly ajar so that the promise of new adventures is still on the cards.

This is the best book in the series. Minju has become pharoah and is doing her best to dominate alpha earth. Julius has been 'repatriated' to Beta earth. At first he had no memory of his time as a curator but Firenze aids him to get his memories back. This novel puts Julius and Clio back in partnership. Neith has come out of her coma and is an apprentice to Minju as an archivist. The reader is introduced to the Glass Waste, the sight of a nuclear disaster in the desert. Here secret plans under Jack are expanding the hold of Egypt on Alpha. All in all this is an entertaining read and a fitting ending to the five-part series.

Is this the end of Alpha and/or Beta Earths?
"The Great Deceiver" is Book 5 in a series that began with a Faberge egg. This book is interesting and exciting, even if you have not read the previous books in the series. But the story gains a much deeper satisfaction if you read it as the denouement that it is.
Julius, Neith, Clio and all the gang are there, dealing with the massive danger facing each of them and their worlds. The Great Deceiver holds all the cards. Can the worlds be saved?

Who's who?
First off you need to know the classes on E. Second , who belongs in each class. Third, which people change to another classification. Fourth, see second. Fifth, add another planet Beta. A different planet behind in technology . Fifth add location and time travel. Leader changes . She has new plans of governing. Soon there is beginning of war and learning of other worlds. Never Boring but readers will have to keep every character straight .

NOoooooo, don't end! Thankfully the author has set this story up brilliantly to continue in a different form, but what a series. As a different author would say, who writes similarly fantastic novels, Bloody Bollocking Marvellous!*

Great series. Love the characters, especially Julius. This book brings another angle to the story so far and introduces more great characters. We also learn more about people we’ve already met. There are some very tense moments and some twists along the way.
It’s the end of the series in some ways, but I’m looking forward to what comes next.

Brilliant
The possibly temporary ending to this series has been well up to the standard of the others. The characters played out their roles in a logical fashion while new ones were introduced seamlessly. I have greatly enjoyed the journey of Julius and Neith and hope more of their adventures will be forthcoming.

The fifth and final book of this series. (The author promises a second series). The entire series is enjoyable with great characters that I love. But, like most series... The concept was stretched thin and should have been a trilogy. The last two books were so the author could get closure with a villain. However, it was an enjoyable read with people who will live in my brain for a very long time.

Excellent!
Argh... I can't believe this the last book... I always check when I start a series to be sure it's over, as I hate to have to wait for the next one. I prefer to immerge and binge. Fortunately, the author hinted that there will be another one. Unfortunately, she also said that she was going to start another series in between...

It was everything! Action packed, full of surprises and a happy ending, it included both Alpha and Beta Earth, some laughter but also some tears. It looked really bleak, with Julius being sent to Beta Earth and Neigh trying to stop Minju on her own. And I was wondering where Clio disappeared... when she suddenly popped-up and literally saved the day. Great conclusion to the whole series.

This has really been nagging at me--there is an episode in Afghanistan and the people are supposed to be speaking Arabic and it is just so deeply wrong. Authors, pay attention to language diversity and get it right! Pashto and Dari are the most common languages of Afghanistan. If you want to suggest that someone is an Arab in Afghanistan, be explicit that is what you are saying.

Nope
Having lived through the past seven years in the United States my tolerance for gaslighting is nonexistent. Others might enjoy reading about a megalomaniac deploy it in an effort to establish an authoritarian but for me it hits too close to home.

Remarkably good
Imagine an alpha and beta earth suddenly twinned. Imagine the personalities on each earth. Now imagine them interacting over treasures no less. Stir and read. An excellent concoction

Somehow, five stars seems woefully inadequate for this series. I have loved every page of every book and look forward to the release of book six. In the meantime, what’s this about another project?
My interest is piqued, my curiosity aroused and my appetite whetted. I can’t wait.

I thoroughly enjoyed the final book in Eva’s series about Alpha & Beta and the quantum curators. The storyline was exciting and the pace of the book fast. I will recommend this series to fellow readers.

It ended too abruptly
Suddenly they were all there and openly fighting the baddie. It was too neat and tidy. The lead up was fantastic. But, when Neith found Jack it got vague and easy. It was a kind of bummer of an ending.

The final book in the series. I really enjoyed the series as a whole. I thought the ending was a bit rushed but still enjoyed the story and would be interested in reading more stories from this world and these characters.

An excellent read!
This series of 5 books is really excellent entertainment! I loved it. Great characters, lots of adventures, two Earths, time travel . . . How could it not be great fun?

Wow, what a great end to this story arc.
I was half-way through the book and still wondering how the story was going to wrap up.
As always, loved the characters, the world making and the story.
If you love portal fantasy you should read this.

This series is just so good! It's alternative history, time travel and really creative. I'm so sad this story arc is finished. I keep thinking I'll curl up and read more about Julius, Neith and the rest of their compatriots. I can't wait to see what comes next for Alpha and Beta Earth!
