Pressestimmen
"Rajaniemi spins a yarn that ties old-fashioned adventure to cutting edge science without ever seeming contrived. The science fiction debut of the year, no contest." SFX "A brilliant debut." -- Eric Brown THE GUARDIAN "It is, at heart, a noir thriller in cosmic drag. In addition to its amnesiac antihero there's a down-at-heel detective and any number of femmes fatales. Wild SF concepts come thick and fast. Cities are mobile, spaceships are sentient, memories can be shared, and portions of a person's lifespan form the basis for financial transactions (time literally is money)." -- James Lovegrove THE FINANCIAL TIMES "The first line of The Quantum Thief promises a lot: humour, suspense, time paradoxes, philosophical puzzles and futuristic action, all tied up in a succinct and stylish knot. All this and more, the novel delivers. Inventive, exotic, densely plotted and compelling, this is an impressive debut." -- Lisa Tuttle THE TIMES "A brilliant first novel. The Quantum Thief, like so much of the best space opera of this century, is a prodigy house, where propositions are instant heritage, and arguments are eyeclick." STRANGE HORIZONS "The story unfolds briskly with barely a pause for breath, the plot is gripping, the ideas complex but thought-provoking, and there are all the requisite shocking revelations and intriguing plot twists you could wish for. The Quantum Thief is a bravura debut novel, a confident and accomplished work that reinvigorates the genre. It is easily the best SF debut since Richard Morgan's Altered Carbon." WERTZONE "Comes together piece by piece in the mode of M. John Harrison's Light - and it's every bit the equal of that modern-day genre masterpiece. Beneath the science, you see, beneath the staggering speculative wonder of it all, Hannu Rajaniemi has a knack for spare, no-nonsense storytelling that approaches the poetic at times. The Quantum Thief is a revelation, in the end, and make no mistake: we have here the sci-fi debut of 2010." SPECULTIVE SCOTSMAN "With its engaging narrative and characters backed by often almost intimidatingly good sci-fi concepts, it's easy to see why The Quantum Thief is being heavily, and deservedly touted, as the big SF debut of the year." SCI FI NOW The Quantum Thief is bursting with ideas and there sufficient action/battle scenes to slake any thirst for vicarious violence." INTERZONE "Serious SF disguised as a crime thriller with great success... a fun, addictive read." -- Anthony Brown TOTAL SCI FI "He's spectacularly delivered on the promise that this is likely the more important debut SF novel we'll see this year." -- Gary K Wolfe LOCUS "A wildly imaginative SF novel. Excellent." BBC FOCUS

In der fernen Zukunft lebt Jean le Flambeur, posthumaner Krimineller, Gedankeneinbrecher, Vertrauenskünstler und Schwindler. Seine Herkunft ist schattenhaft, doch seine Taten legendär und wagemutig. Weil ihm ein Fehler unterlief, ist er nun dazu verdammt, im Dilemma-Gefängnis endlose Varianten eines Rätsels gegen unzählige Kopien seiner selbst zu lösen. Doch dann macht er eine Begegnung, die ihn zurück in die Freiheit führen könnte.

I dont understand the critique about the present tense used in the book, i liked that it was written in the present, it gave me a more dynamic "here and now" plot experience and english isnt even my birth languege, i learned it in school and through movies and still didnt have to translate words. of course there are some words you wont understand when you read the book the first time because the book is a really hardcore science fiction novel that throws some words at you whos meaning you can only discover by reading the same sentence again and think about it. but it was really fun to uncover the details and meanings of some words when i read the book a second time and even at the third time i understood more of the small details of the world the author created. it is also to say that in generall i'm not a fan of science fiction, i have read dann simmons ilium and olympus, but that was it for my knowledge of this genre. despite my lack of experience with hardcore science fiction, and i would categorize the quantum thief as such, i really loved the experience to read it, again and again. the main character is one of the funnies and most sympathetic antiheroes i have ever met in a book. so if you search for a science fiction detective story with lots of action about a brilliant thief, which you can read over and over again to discover new and interesting background story, buy it. i fully recommend that book. but as always it is just my personal opinion. sorry for the bad english, as i said its not my main language.

In essence this is a SF detective story placed in distant future mars. The main character, "the thief", tries to get it's memory back, with is hidden somewhere by his previous self. I've realy liked reading this book but at the end there are some gaps in the plot, never the less worth reading.

I would have read more than the first two pages, but the first person present tense was something I baulked at. The pace slowed as I translated each verb inside my head.
If this were past perfect, I would have read on, gladly. I might have been tempted to buy the book. Might have been, I said, as this story needs "polishing" the story sounds good, but it is not excellent.
If the author decides to change the tense, then I will read as far as I can.
