Physics, Lust and Greed Series Book 2
Humorous Science Fiction
Date Published: 12/2/21
Publisher: Acorn Publishing
When time travelers fail test after test to significantly alter the past,
most financial backers abandon the Global Research Consortium leaving
veteran traveler Marta Hamilton to administer a vastly scaled-down project.
She must protect the past from a greedy future, fend off political meddling,
and foil a murder plot originating in a parallel universe. She presides over
a conspiracy to hide the truth of her best friend’s death while coping with
a confusing and discomforting romantic entanglement involving fellow
traveler Marshall Grissom.
Marta, who has by professional necessity always distanced herself from
emotional commitment, lapsed by allowing herself the luxury of friendship
with Sheila Schuler and a night of wild sex with Marshall. Now, Sheila is
probably dead, and—according to a genius physicists’ theory—Marshall soon
will be. As she assumes her role as administrator of the time travel
program, Marta must choose between the risks of loving someone, or the
lonely safety of emotional solitude.
(No cats were harmed in the telling of this story.)
