Quantum Ball: A Tech Action Novel
A powerful earthquake cripples Japan, destroying a renowned hi-tech research facility in Saitama, obliterating all data and the only existing prototypes of groundbreaking quantum computers… except for one.
In Soledad, California, Tyson McNally, frustrated by corrupt corporate politics, predicts the drawings of two of the largest lottery jackpots in human history—to prove it works for a close friend killed in the devastation.
Are his actions morally wrong?
It’s easy to justify a loss, but a win, as McNally discovers, comes with overwhelming guilt. Will it change the era of computation forever?
Soledad soon becomes the lottery capital of the world, and desperate people want a slice of the action when they start to figure out how the jackpots were won and by whom.
Tyson's only hope is the FBI and “the company.” Can they transport him to an undisclosed government facility before it’s too late—before they can make a stand against the past?

This is indeed a fascinating tech action novel that will leave you on the edge of your seat. The story takes place after a devastating earthquake in Japan, which destroys a high-tech research facility and all data, except for one groundbreaking quantum computer prototype. The main character, Tyson McNally, a resident of Soledad, California, predicts the drawings of two of the largest lottery jackpots in human history. His actions raise a moral dilemma: are his actions wrong, even if he is doing it for a close friend killed in the earthquake?
As the story progresses, the author explores the consequences of Tyson's actions, leading to overwhelming guilt and desperate people seeking a slice of the action. The tension builds as the FBI and "the company" try to transport Tyson to an undisclosed government facility before it's too late. I won’t give out more information, so go, do read the story and know what happens next! The book is well-written and fast-paced, with twists and turns that keep you guessing until the end. I highly recommend it to sci-fi/thriller lovers!
