When Sera Varse sets out to find the brother she thought was dead, she uncovers a universe-altering secret and a chance to save billions.

Sera's mission to study Quantum, the rare alien material enabling faster-than-light travel, turns perilous as she follows whispers of her brother's survival. Her journey propels her into covert operations in enemy territory, the ruthless world of Crimson Wolves space pirates, and a confrontation with a mysterious force threatening annihilation.

Teaming up with a PI, his hitman partner, and a pirate lord, Sera navigates a treacherous path that intersects with an impending Imperial coup. Her discoveries about Quantum, the expanding anomaly, and wormholes to uncharted worlds will redefine humanity's future.

Sera and her allies' actions will determine the universe's fate, putting them on a collision course with a power they can't begin to comprehend.


Author Justin Sloan (the SHADOW CORPS series; GAME OF THRONES game) brings you a space opera adventure in the vein of THE EXPANSE and DUNE. Fans of intergalactic travel and world-hopping excitement will be right at home in this first trilogy of the PLANETQUEST series.


"Quantum Paradox by Justin Sloan is a triumphant space opera. It blends intricate world-building, compelling characters, and cutting-edge science fiction. Sloan weaves a tale of political intrigue worthy of Dune and The Expanse between three powerful factions engaging in a game of power set on a knife's edge during a race against time to save the galaxy. PlanetQuest is a must-read adventure that deep-dives into space exploration and human resilience." - Richard Fox, author of The Ember War Saga
