In the first of two books Luke meets an out-of-place girl named Hare, and given all the
tachyons flying around, he begins to suspect that Tom Humboldt—the head of Luke’s summer
research project—has pulled Hare from the past.
A sequel, The Humboldt Effect,
picks up Luke’s life several years later.
She was strange, remote, and beautiful, and she called herself “Hare.”
