A. G. HAYES AND ME

Posted by Gary Martine on Saturday, March 14, 2020, In : The Edge of Madness: Shadow 
It has been my good fortune to have worked on QUANTUM DEATH (Savant 2019) with the imminent author of thrillers, A. G. Hayes. In this fifth work in the Koski and Falk Secret Agent Series, Susan Koski and her partner Joe Falk take on their most complex and dangerous case yet: The Quantum Death Machine.


Since then A. G. and I have ended up in almost daily conversations about Koski and Falk, and most recently, his developing five-book Kate Keenan Special Assignment series, the first work being F...

QUANTUM QU-BITS

Posted by Gary Martine on Monday, December 25, 2017, In : Quantum Death 

Many would say that a computational "bit" is a single unit of information. It might, however, be more correct to say that a contemporary computational "bit" can represent a single datum, while a combination of bits can represent a single unit of information. For example, consider the number "1" (as opposed to the number "0"). In essence, it represents a numerical datum that can be mathematically manipulated, but doesn't, as such, represent anything beyond that. However, by adding "car," it be...

A BRAVE NEW WORLD

Posted by Gary Martine on Wednesday, December 20, 2017, In : Quantum Death 
Sitting in my evening chair, listening to the news, pondering our economic situation and that presented in A. G. Hayes and my thriller, QUANTUM DEATH (Savant 2016), I was surprised to find the two worlds moving ever closer, and worse, hearing the politicians cheer it on. For want of a few dollars, America's leaders are selling our nation into monstrous debt, the kind that will undoubtedly rise on its haunches in the distant future and tear asunder what few social nets are left to people in or...

HAVE QUANTA, WILL TRAVEL

Posted by Gary Martine on Wednesday, November 22, 2017, In : Quantum Death 
In Science News October 28, 2017, on page 14, there appeared a first report of a "quantum video chat [that] links Asia [and] Europe." In the article, a quantum video link is established riding on light particles. That probably sounds mundane, but, in fact, when you add the usual quantum physics attributes such as "instantaneous (think concurrent)," "strange," "teleportation," "unlimited distance" you get a better idea of what this experiment represents. Much like the Quantum Death Machine in ...

QUANTUM DINING

Posted by Gary Martine on Friday, October 20, 2017, In : Quantum Death 
ALOHA Everyone! Yes, today's blog is truly about "quantum dining" which, translated, means dining with a copy of QUANTUM DEATH (Savant 2016) by A. G. Hayes with, you guessed it, me, Raymond Gaynor, aka Gary Martine, D. S. Janik and/or Daniel S. Janik. This afternoon, I visited a favorite Vietnamese restaurant that serves delicious Pho, a soup not unlike Japanese Ramen but with a totally different taste. 


Yum. While waiting, I displayed my newest book and generated some surprising interest. Fir...

PROPHETIC, NOTHING LESS

Posted by Gary Martine on Friday, September 1, 2017, In : Quantum Death 
When I wrote QUANTUM DEATH (Savant 2017) with A. G. Hayes, I never expected the plot would so quickly transform from techno-political thriller to modern day drama. Take the basic plot: North Korea at the lead, with China watching and cheering, and Russia, dare I say it, coming to the aid of American agents Koski and Falk. Or how about it's cyber-warfare/dark web/The Onion Ring (TOR)-based financing using Bitcoins? And how about the "Quantum Death Machine," originating in Russian and finding i...

Quantum Death Turns Real

Posted by Gary Martine on Monday, August 7, 2017, In : Quantum Death 

When A. G. Hayes and I wrote QUANTUM DEATH (Savant 2016), neither of us had any idea that the futuristic plot would prove real. Recently North Korea stepped up its #cyberattacks in a manner not unlike that which we described. #Bitcoins and The Onion Ring (#TOR) "dark internet," both integral parts of the plot have become public watchwords. The #Delphi Method, invented by #Rand Corporation during the "Cold War" era, continues to be used in situations like we described. And Koski and Falk, A. G...

BITCOINS AND THE THE DARK UNDERBELLY OF GLOBAL FINANCING

Posted by Raymond Gaynor on Friday, October 21, 2016, In : Quantum Death 

While scoping out thriller QUANTUM DEATH (Savant 2016) with A. G. Hayes, it became clear that, in this increasingly explicit, business-oriented world, for plausibility's sake I would need to include something most thriller's don't: The dark world of international financing. Big, dark money, since we were talking regional, possibly even global cyberwarfare. Big, dark, laundered money that couldn't be traced, all of which brought me to Bitcoins.


Not that Bitcoins are inherently nefarious, but, ...

Quantum Death Hits Europe

Posted by Gary Martine on Sunday, August 7, 2016, In : Quantum Death 
I was pleased to see that my most recent book, QUANTUM DEATH (Savant 2016), published with multi-award-winning thriller writer A. G. Hayes, has received an Amsterdam Book Festival Award. While set throughout the USA and Pacific including Hawaii, the impact of the technology involved, that of quantum physics and more specifically the quantum singularity, will be of interest to everyone following CERN's new particle Super-Collider and the search for new particle characteristics. The Super-Colli...
