<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>"Readers will fully engage with the well-drawn characters as Parks convincingly reveals the science that buttresses the suspenseful plot. Michael Crichton fans won't want to miss this one." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> (starred review)</b></p><p><b>From international bestselling author Brad Parks comes an emotional, heart-pounding thriller that explores the scientific unknown--and one woman's efforts to save her husband from its consequences.</b></p><p>Quantum physicist Matt Bronik is suffering from strange, violent seizures that medical science seems powerless to explain--much to the consternation of his wife, Brigid.</p><p>Matt doesn't think these fits could be related to his research, which he has always described as benign and esoteric. That, it turns out, is not quite true: Matt has been prodding the mysteries of the quantum universe, with terrible repercussions for his health. And perhaps even for humanity as a whole.</p><p>Then, in the midst of another seizure, Matt disappears. When foul play is feared, there is no shortage of suspects. Matt's research had gained the attention of Chinese competitors, an unscrupulous billionaire, and the Department of Defense, among others.</p><p>With Matt's life in clear danger, Brigid sets out to find him. Will Matt be killed before she reaches him, or could the physics that endangered him actually be used to save his life?</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Readers will fully engage with the well-drawn characters as Parks convincingly reveals the science that buttresses the suspenseful plot." <b>--<i>Publishers Weekly</i> (starred review)</b></p><p>"A twisty tale...Parks' suspenseful novel will beguile, entrance, and fool the sharpest readers." <b>--<i>Kirkus Reviews</i></b></p><p>"The mix of science and heart-pounding thrills will have you on the edge of your seat." <b>--<i>Medium</i></b></p><p>"Parks is an award-winning novelist with an admitted amateur interest in physics and the talent to craft page-turners. In <i>Interference</i> he takes science out of central casting to fuel an espionage-abduction-virus story that fans of Michael Crichton and Lee Child will ride to the end." <b>--<i>Mountain Times</i></b></p><p>"Parks, better known for character-driven mysteries, ventures into Michael Crichton and Blake Crouch territory with a procedural thriller with an SF edge and a ton of heart that leads to an explosive (and emotional) finale." <b>--<i>Library Journal</i></b></p><p>"To be pleasurably bamboozled, try this nifty scientific thriller..." <b>--<i>The Washington Post</i></b></p><p>"A cutting-edge stunner...that reminded me of Michael Crichton in all the right ways...It's been awhile since I read a book that checked all the technological boxes, while telling a great story." <b>--<i>Providence Journal</i></b></p><p>"Parks shapes the narrative with fast turns and switchbacks that lead readers to second guess what they think they know about the characters...It all leads to a finale that's both thrilling and heartfelt, and a good reason to trust the science of Parks' fine storytelling." <b>--New York Journal of Books</b></p><p>"A smart, innovative thriller that evokes the best of Michael Crichton and Blake Crouch. Parks proposes the seemingly improbable, makes it plausible, then weaves in twists and turns, taking the reader on a mind-bending ride." <b>--Robert Dugoni, <i>New York Times</i>, <i>Wall Street Journal</i>, and Amazon bestselling author of the Tracy Crosswhite series</b></p><p>"<i>Interference</i> brings all the right ingredients to a novel! Brad Parks has created a story with a fascinating plot line and great characters--an up-all-night page-turner. I loved it!" <b>--Heather Graham, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author</b></p><p>"Utterly absorbing, relentlessly paced, and cunningly assembled. Brad Parks is the sort of master craftsman who makes everything look easy. I hate him a little bit." <b>--Marcus Sakey, <i>Wall Street Journal</i> bestselling author of <i>Afterlife</i></b></p><br>
