Schrödinger's Glass

EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE. EVERYTHING HAS A PRICE

CHICAGO BURNS IN THE WAKE OF THE HARC-LAB INCIDENT.

At 7:46 p.m., an event at the Heisenberg Accelerator and Research Center released a burst of energy that changed the world forever, granting impossible properties to ordinary objects. Scientists call them artifacts.

Bella and Saul Martin discover one of the rarest: a wine glass capable of producing any liquid.

To some, artifacts are deadly. To Bella and Saul, Schrödinger's Glass is a gift-an endless supply of whiskey, wine, gasoline, anything they could ever need. At first, the couple sees the glass as a miracle. Then they realize it could make them rich. Or get them killed.

Max Peck, a retired Green Beret, was working security at HARC-Lab during the event. Now he hunts artifacts for Peterson Corp. In a world where corporations, criminals, and governments are racing to control the impossible, Max knows one truth: Whoever controls Schrödinger's Glass controls far more than wealth.

When it was secret, they were safe. Now, Schrödinger's Glass is in play, and Bella and Saul will learn how far people will go to control the impossible.

"Grall has created a deeply enjoyable sci-fi thriller here. It combines a genuinely original premise with memorable characters, crisp writing, suspense, humor, and just enough scientific speculation to make its impossible world feel surprisingly plausible." - Grace Okubo for Independent Book Review (Staff Pick)

"The artifacts' various powers prove to be fascinating and dangerous, which transforms a fairly standard thriller plot into something more compelling." - Kirkus Reviews

"Schrödinger's Glass by Chris Grall is science meets fantasy in thriller mode. Grall's military and tactical background gives this novel authenticity that's hard to fake. [...] Grall handles the concept of everyday objects turned deadly or magical with restraint and invention in equal measure." Dr. Oliva Dsouza for Readers' Favorite

"Grall marries sci-fi with thriller in a series of escapades and confrontations that are heart-stopping, unpredictable, and thoroughly engrossing." - D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review
