The independent planet of Rhysalan provides Sanctuary to 1,462 governments-in-exile. It is the responsibility of the Xenocriminology and Alien Relations department of the Military Crimes Investigation Division to keep a firm leash on the hundreds of thousands of xenos residing on-planet. Assassinations, revolutions, civil wars, and attempted planetary genocides are all in a day's work for Chief Warrant Officer Graven Tower, MCID-XAR.

In addition to a missile-armed aerovar, his trusty Sphinx CPB-18, and MCID's extremely liberal policies concerning collateral damage and civilian casualties, Chief Tower is assisted by his extreme xenophobia as well as a military-grade augmented machine intelligence that believes it has found God. So when the disintegrated remnants of the heir apparent of an alien royal house are discovered on the streets of Trans Paradis, the question is not so much whether the killers will eventually be found, but if it is the criminals or the crime investigators who will contribute more to the final body count. DRM-free.

QUANTUM MORTIS is the new action-packed Mil-SF mystery series from Vox Day, author of the epic fantasy series Arts of Dark and Light. Written with Steve Rzasa, QUANTUM MORTIS A Man Disrupted is the first novel in the series featuring Graven Tower, MCID.

Military Sci-Fi with a bit of cyberpunk flavor

Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2017

Verified Purchase

Chief Warant Officer Tower is a member of the Military Crimes Investigation Division on the planet Rhysala. His job is to enforce the Dukes laws on the planet and keep the many aliens in line. When a man is assassinated in broad daylight with military grade weapon, Tower must investigate. He uses high tech weaponry, military vehicles, and a high tech artificial intelligence inside his head.

What's not to like - a gritty lead character, a well developed alien world with lots competing interests and motivations, but you don't need an org chart to keep up with everyone?

Very good future noir detective novel

Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2014

Verified Purchase

Very good sci-fi noir. There have not been many good detective sci-fi noir novels. Effinger did some good near future books, but that was about it.

The setting here is a military police detective who, due to his world's laws on embassies, is a member of a section assigned to police crimes involving embassies and governments in exile. Personal AIs, flying cars and power suits, body enhancements, police robots. However, the world has crowded mega towers, and a dark side that is well explored. Very well written, tight scenes. Enjoyable.

Two issues, one much smaller than the other. The hero's AI has something special about her/it, but once you as reader realize what it is the knowledge goes nowhere for the rest of the book. As a much smaller matter, the hero is a Chief Warrant Officer in a system which otherwise uses current US Navy and Army ranks. However, a Navy Ensign is outranked by the Chief. Given how good the rest of the editing was, this was slightly jarring.

This is almost Casablanca the movie ported 500 years into the future, told with German officer number 3 as the protagonist.

Fast paced and funny

Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2015

Let me say this- I don't usually like detective/mystery stories, they are so predictable- someone gets killed- half the story is done. But once in a while someone can redo the old trope in a fun way, and this is it.Graven Tower and his augment/ AI Baby try to keep the peace on a planet where sanctuary for failed regimes is a commercial product, and half of the refugees are naturally trying to kill the other half. Throw in a fast plot, a really likeable, though somewhat weapons happy hero,and a religious AI, and you have a real winner. Hope this is an extended series.

Solve Crime and/or Blow Crime Up

Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2016

Verified Purchase

If you like detective/police dramas a la Harry Bosch and you also like shoot-em-up sci-fi, well, I can't imagine you won't like this book. I found it to be really fun, creative adventure sci-fi, set in a compelling universe with plenty of quirks and twists to keep me engaged all the way through. Admittedly, I solved the mystery pretty early on, but that didn't diminish my experience at all. Ultimately I liked it enough to continue the series. What more can you ask?

Must Read

Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2016

Verified Purchase

Quantum Mortis: A Man Disrupted was a very novel SciFi production. The world showed imagination, a solid understanding of engineering, and delivered a great whodunit. A veritable trifecta of potential delivered on a foundation of characters you want to like. Additionally, the title itself lends itself to the deeper questions posed in the realm of humanity, or perhaps transhumanity itself.

Read it. Enjoy it for the hardball action, for the technological coolness of the world, for the political intrigue, or for the questions of humanity. Or for all of those reasons.

But read it.

The pacing is great. The characters are well written

Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2018

Military sci-fi meets gritty detective noir in this novel. It has a lot of twists and turns, none of which strain credulity and most of which weren't all that predictable. The pacing is great. The characters are well written. Give it a shot if you're looking for something a little different.

Nice SciFi Mystery

Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2015

Verified Purchase

I've been thinking of writing mysteries based in a far future setting so when I found an existing one I jumped at reading it. It was worth the time. The main character is more nuanced than he might appear at first. The gradual unveiling of one of the reasons is well done and interesting. I could see this as a TV series, if Syfy still did actual science fiction. It reminds me of "Rockford Files" in space even though that does not really describe the story or the characters.

Worth pushing Through

Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2014

Verified Purchase

It started out slow and painful, and after two chapters I was ready to quit. I didn't' and I am glad. Over time the protagonist becomes less painful, addressing his AI as Baby understandable, and the plot more interesting. The world building premise is great with many options for interesting stories. And the ending was very good.

Lots of action, mystery who committed the crime and why.
Oh, and action, lots of explosions big guns that sort of thing. But it also asked some hard questions, AI's who have found religion, politics and so forth.
Most satisfying now where is the next one?
