Belisarius—created by bioengineering as Homo quantus—has escaped from his home planet. To satisfy the needs of his quantum intelligence, he deals in the most complex multi-step schemes.
When a client offers him an incalculable fortune to reroute new-type warships through a hostile wormhole, he realizes just how large the amount of work is. He’ll need a team of all new human subtypes and AI. And if the scam succeeds, he will provoke an interstellar war. But success could also point the way to the next step in the evolution of Homo Quantus.
