The Reluctant Assassin
When fourteen-year-old Victorian waif Riley shows up in the 21st century on
seventeen-year-old FBI Agent Chevie Savano’s watch, the two of them pair up and head
back to the late 19th century to escape Riley’s evil pursuer.
Although the book
involves wormholes and scientists, it’s really a quantum fantasy, wherein an ordinary
fantasy has the word “quantum” scattered throughout in key places, typically before
the word magic, magician, or wormhole. Nevertheless, we’ve listed it as science fiction
to match its publicity material.
— Michael Main
He discovered that Einstein’s quantum theory was essentially correct and that he could
stabilize a traversable wormhole through space-time using exotic matter with negative
energy density.
