Where It Belongs (The Paths That Lead to Us Book 2)
About
The pieces work. Together, they fail.
At a Delft laboratory, Anouk Vermeer and her team have spent years building a quantum computer that can protect its fragile calculations from error. Their components pass. Their enlarged operation does not, and the next review gives them six months to show why the work should continue.
The pressure makes old habits harder to hide. Farah wants room for a question of her own. Ben is tired of confident promises. Mara keeps noticing what the records leave out. When an overlooked repair and a conversation with researchers from another field expose a weakness in the way the team describes ready, the answer begins to move beyond any single machine or person.
Where It Belongs is Book Two of The Paths That Lead to Us, a human-centred science-fiction novel about craft, responsibility, friendship, and what becomes possible when distinct contributions are allowed to remain distinct.
Some discoveries change what we know.
Others change what we are.
