5.0

A unique premise


Graduate student Ella Hote is a brilliant scientist. When she constructs a quantum computer that allows her to enhance her luck, chaos ensues. Already a compelling character, Ella’s gambling addiction adds  of a layer of depth to the story that makes it grippingly realistic. The plot is delightfully original and will keep readers entranced until the last page.

“Conservation of Luck” is not just an engaging science fiction story but also a surprisingly philosophical book which grapples with questions of morality. Does the end ever justify the means? And how far is it acceptable to go to save your loved ones?
