Causal Angel Trilogy of the Quantum Thief

Finalist for the Locus Award. Thanks to his infectious love for all forms of literary storytelling and unparalleled understanding of the most eccentric cutting-edge scientific achievements, Hannu Rajaniemi has instantly become a benchmark for 21st-century science fiction. In his third novel, which concludes the tale of the many lives and many consciousnesses of the gentleman thief, quantum thief Jean le Flambeur, Rajaniemi weaves sophisticated intrigues with the genius of science, extraordinary visions of a wild future, and deep thoughts about the nature of reality and human history. In "Causal Angel," we learn the final fate of Jean, his employer Mieli, the sentient ship "Perhonen," and the rest of the fractured and diverse humanity scattered throughout the Solar System. "A magnificent example of quality and fairly scientific fiction from a world of almost magic and pseudonaturalism, where happiness is as absent as it is in our pre-singularity days." — Fantlab.ru "An exciting conclusion… Fans will be satisfied." — Publishers Weekly "Hannu Rajaniemi is undoubtedly one of the smartest and most impressive writers working in science fiction, and I can’t wait to see what he does next." — Tor.com "The author masterfully crafts a novel that rewards the thoughtful reader with its ideas, imagery, and the poignant story of one man's determination to do right in order to remain true to the ideals of his past. The succinctness of the prose and the thrillingly whimsical breadth of ideas remain a true delicacy." — The Skinny "A novel of grand ideas wrapped in the attributes of old-school space opera. It gives you everything you want from it — action and adventure, memorable characters, vivid stories, and global themes. This is what science fiction should aspire to." — SFcrowsnest
