This question came in via email: Early on in Quantum Space, Nala does what she considers to be an illegal download. Later on, with the Corporate and FBI pushes, this never surfaces. Her earlier action is very relevant to her "innocence" yet is totally ignored. Am I missing something?

(view spoiler)[I love these kinds of questions – makes me think. There are narrative reasons for Nala’s early clandestine scene since later in the story Daniel wonders if she’s one of the bad guys. Marie jumps to Nala’s defense and Daniel eventually agrees, but for a moment there’s doubt. Once the FBI gets involved, they rummage through boxes of evidence and have their doubts about Nala too. Hopefully, intrigue makes the story fun to read (it was fun to write). In the end, we find out that Nala is sometimes too smart for her own good, but at least she’s not a traitor. You’re right, I didn’t write an explicit scene to wrap this up, but I figured the FBI handing Nala a key to the office meant they trusted her. (hide spoiler)]

I just read and reviewed your book Quantum Space. I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed it. I have been interested in Quantum physics for quite awhile, but never could wrap my mind around it. Your book helped immensely in my limited understanding, which is now a bit greater. I know this is not a question, but I wanted to let you know that I appreciated your book. Thanks. Obligatory question mark?

Thoroughly loved the rock solid science base of your fascinating novels. So here's my question, is there an edition of your "Quantum Space" in which you included references or citations for the scientific core of the novel? if No, had you done this in other novels?
