Described as philosophical science fiction, Entanglement explores our assumptions about such constants as death, birth, sex and conflict, as the characters in the story explore distant worlds and the intelligent life that lives there.

Entanglement starts in 2180 when travel to neighbouring star systems has been mastered by the use of quantum teleportation, 'entanglement' of sub-atomic matter. In the course of the novel, 24 worlds are explored; what humanity discovers is both surprising and disturbing, enlightening and shocking. Each alternative to mankind that they find, sheds light on human shortcomings and potential and offers fresh perspectives on life on Earth. Meanwhile personal human dramas play out at home for the astronauts and those in charge of the missions.

Entanglement captures the excitement and bravery of mankind's first explorers to the stars, while presenting the reader with fascinating insights into our pre-conceived and long-established notions of what is morally and culturally acceptable.

Industry Reviews

"Entanglement is a novel that will live inside the mind of the reader long after the back cover has been closed, thanks to an effortlessly engaging writing style that sucks the reader into the plot like a black hole lined with teeth." Ian Hunter on The Horror Zine

"There's something very Golden Age about Entanglement...It captures that sense of wide-eyed wonder and endless possibilities of those earlier works, before the evidence from real space flights squashed the wilder dreams of many science fiction writers...it's brimming with ideas" Ros Jackson on Warpcore SF.

"What I liked most about this book was that Douglas Thompson had courage to write about the different aspects of space travelling (technology, exploration, the risks of exploring strange places etc). The author writes as fluently about the feelings of the characters as about the happenings...Entanglement is one of the most fascinating science fiction novels I've read, because Douglas Thompson manages to bring space exploration to life... Douglas Thompson is a talented science fiction author... I can say that Entanglement is his best novel so far." Seregil of Rhiminee, Risingshadow
