Has anyone read Alex Detail's Revolution?

In summary, the conversation discusses a series of books called Alex Detail's Revolution and Alex Detail's Rebellion, which combine physics and mythology with an Ancient Aliens theme. The first book has some questionable genetics, while the second book is more action-packed. The series is influenced by Star Trek and features advanced science, but not as advanced as other books in the same genre.

It's not a popular series, but there's a lot of sci-fi talk in there that's really interesting (mostly related to space/planets/stars). Lol just wondering if anyone has read it

I read both Alex Detail's Revolution and the one that came after it, Alex Detail's Rebellion. The first book combines a lot of physics and mythology, which I like (except for some sketchy genetics). The second book is more action/adventure and has an Ancient Aliens theme to it. I tend to like the sort of physics you get from a Dan Simmons or Peter Hamilton. The Alex Detail books aren't so far in the future--feels like heavy Star Trek influence, but other than a trick of being able to control quantum states, the Alex Detail world doesn't make the science as advanced as most books on that timescale.
