The quantum spy : a thriller / by Ignatius, David,1950-author.(CARDINAL)348749;
A hyper-fast quantum computer is the digital equivalent of a nuclear bomb: whoever possesses one will be able to shred any encryption in existence, effectively owning the digital world. The question is: Who will build it first, the United States or China? The latest of David Ignatius's novels follows CIA agent Harris Chang into a quantum research lab compromised by a suspected Chinese informant. The breach provokes a mole hunt that is obsessive, destructive, and--above all--uncertain: Do the leaks expose real secrets, or are they false trails meant to deceive the Chinese? Chang soon finds that there is a thin line between loyalty and betrayal, as the investigation leads him down a rabbit hole as dangerous as it is deep.

Harbinger / by Vasey, P. A.,author.;
In 2017, a mysterious interstellar object transited the Solar System. Called ʻOumuamua, the Hawaiian word for "scout," it buzzed past the inner worlds, bound for deep space. By the time it was noticed, it had already passed Earth. It was soon forgotten, dismissed as a comet or planetary fragment. Earth's scientists turned to more pressing matters. But ʻOumuamua was no mere rock. An alien spaceship looking for habitable planets, it sent a machine probe to Earth, containing a quantum computer. After crash landing in South America, the probe was found by tech billionaire Christian Becker, who used its computational power to give himself groundbreaking technology and unlimited wealth... until something goes wrong. War veteran Will Logan is kidnapped and brought to Becker's highly secret research campus. Becker is certain that Will and his missing wife, Alex, are the saboteurs. But nothing is what it seems...
