Produktbeschreibung
Randall Biedermeier is a young cancer doctor in the late 1970s, heading up the radiation treatment department at a Midwest Veteran's hospital. The barebones clinic staff struggles to keep up with the patient load and governmental red tape. Randall leans on the security of science to juggle reluctant patients, resistant staff and his own self-doubts. Just when he thinks he's got his work life under control, the universe laughs. Bizarre and mysterious events flip him sideways, threatening the stability of his scientific mind. At home, Randall finds little respite from that altered reality, where he and his family deal with more bizarre occurrences that defy logic or reason. Beyond the usual parenting vexations, they navigate night terrors, prescient visions, visitations and things that go bump in the night. Randall seeks a "scientific" answer, but what he finds, as he follows a trail of breadcrumbs down a circuitous garden path, is that the answer may require a deep dive down Einstein's "spooky" quantum rabbit hole.
Autorenporträt
ROGER BYHARDT is a retired radiation oncologist who lives in Brookfield, Wisconsin, with his wife Marilyn and his cat Hobbes, a largish and always-hungry orange tabby. Roger draws inspiration for writing from his "everyday" experiences with cancer patients and his "normal" family life. This comes seasoned with a fascination for the often-strange conjunction of reality and the unknown in our journey through life and long term interest in quantum physics. He often takes reality with a grain of Nembutal.
