Cosmic Banditos by A.C. Weisbecker
When Mr Quark our hero is not busy discovering the laws of subatomic physics and finding out that the real world is stranger than we can possibly imagine, he is evading the CIA and drinking tequila. With his companions Jose the bandit and HighPockets the dog he embarks on a life-changing escapade.
On the way we encounter contrabandistas, librarians and the worked of Neils Bohr and Einstein as we descend in an ever tighter spiral toward confronting the university professor who\'s books were stolen by Jose months before.
The logic of this book is faultlessly twisted and the laconic style complements the characters who journey through it.
If you are interested in sub-nuclear physics, banditry and how to fool dogs into thinking they are getting larger milk bone snacks than they deserve, then this is the book for you.
