As if rebuilding the orphanage in the heart of a stolen warship wasn’t enough, Aldisado—the brainiac Cramian Dahr—must deal with teenage drama, deadly mutiny, and the psychotic digital ghost of their enemy, Argolys. What’s more, the monstrous nature of the Dark Navigator that Amian was meant to be has begun to surface. Some of the children are beginning to wonder if they made a mistake leaving Earth…Then the orphans reluctantly join the hunt for a powerful artifact left by the Rift—a civilization that ruled the universe billions of years before. Meanwhile, something strange is unfolding in Aldisado’s quantum brain. It might just be an elaborate hallucination. Or it might be the beginning of something very real, something larger than the universe itself.The Quantum Prisoner is the witty, imaginative second installment of the epic Children of the Ring saga. Fans of The Rogue Navigator will not be disappointed as they’re swept up on this grand adventure.
