Summary

Physicist Sam Jacobson has made an astounding discovery:

A particle that serves as a direct line of communication to the fabric of spacetime. If a person conveys expectations to the cosmos, as he now can, reality answers in kind.

Want to create a black hole in the laboratory? Done.
Make yourself bullet-proof? No problem.

But with great power comes great insanity. Left unhindered, the evolution of man into God could come to a horrific, world-ending conclusion. Two strangers, entangled like a pair of fundamental particles, are the only ones who can stop him.

The first is David Sandoval, the executive producer of a once-popular television show, and he isn't ready to retire just yet. His program will be canceled by the network unless he can find a way to improve the ratings. An invitation to a mysterious laboratory might be the miracle he's looking for. The second is a girl named Eddie.

Pissing off her overbearing mother, popping psychotropic medications, trying to ignore the voices - these are the sum total of 19-year-old Eddie's life. But when forced into a surreal connection with the creator of her favorite science program, her world changes forever.

Eddie's meds aren't working, but that's okay. She doesn't dare ignore the voices now.

Baseballs and hockey sticks.

As she had grown out of childhood, Eddie had been beset by hallucinations and heard voices. Diagnosed as bipolar and paranoid schizophrenic, the psychotropic drugs failed to keep the terrifying Nowhere Man at bay. Her parents were unsympathetic but big sister Rachel did her best to protect her until, when Eddie was 19, she too was pulled into these hallucinations and a connection Eddie had with a favourite TV programme develloper, David Sanderval. 'She never had a choice...' Now she didn't either.
A tale of quantum entanglement and gravitons, a black hole, courage and terror, love and selfisness, time and connections, shadows, a man who wou!d be God - and a dog. The whole is woven into an intriguing thriller of a story laced with quantum science, the theories gently explained as the action progresses, the concepts making for a bizarre tale told from several perspectives. So what is your purpose?

The book is masterfully performed by Susan Harlow. No histrionics here but a steady reading, with good pacing, well spoken intonation in an expression of gentle emotion and understanding, and with each protagonist given their own separate voice. Plus, she is very pleasant to hear. Her performance definitely adds to the enjoyment of the book.

I was most fortunate in being freely gifted a complimentary copy of Squaring the Circle by the rights holder after I requested a copy via Audiobook Boom. Thank you so much. I enjoyed it enormously even if the actual science behind it is still beyond my understanding. It's us who move through time, not the other way round, isn't it? If it exists, that is. The end and the beginning, time unwound. A great thriller, good characters, intriguing premise and ideas to ponder on. 'The journey never ends.'
Very satisfying, and recommended.
