Description
After foiling the political ambitions of a would-be American dictator, time-traveling lovers Marta Hamilton and Marshall Grissom return to their life in the Caribbean only to confront the murder of a friend and inherit responsibility for a gutsy 10-year old boy.
Throughout their unlikely and tumultuous relationship, Marta has harbored suspicions that her time-traveling companion is not being honest with her.
Is Marshall really the bumbling, good-hearted klutz she has come to love and trust? Or is he the cunning, cold-blooded assassin Gillis Kerg suspects him to be?
In this fifth tale of physics, lust and greed, a bizarre parallel universe and a monstrous product of artificial intelligence will impose a costly consequence requiring both Marta and Marshall to face the truth of her most haunting question: “Who are you, Marshall Grissom?”
Advance Praise
"Every book in this series boasts intelligence and wit, but Quantum Consequence might be the funniest, most absurd of them all... Sometimes demented and sometimes frighteningly plausible, Mike Murphey's writing sustains hungry readers with a steady flow of madcap antics and sardonic charm. The plot is over-the-top hilarious, the clever dialogue never lets up, and outrageous scenes often sneak up without warning. The effect is a pleasing balance of futuristic innovation and silly satire, one that treads lightly on heavy subject matter. In a future where science is equated with heresy and mega corporations become the religion of choice, it's tough to tell if this punchy novel is darkly predictive or madly creative. A story about finding family even when society might be losing its soul, Quantum Consequence is a perfectly entangled web of mass consumerism, cultural decay, and tongue-in-cheek political commentary.

I never expected to laugh as much as I did with a science fiction novel, but ""Quantum Consequence,"" the fifth title in Mike Murphey's Physics, Lust and Greed series, had me in stitches. The unique blend of time travel, physics, and satire creates an experience that is refreshingly distinct in the genre... For me, ""Quantum Consequence"" is a delightful discovery, a book combining the complexity of science fiction with the levity of satire in such a way that it's a rare and refreshing contribution to both genres. As the fifth installment in Mike Murphey's Physics, Lust and Greed universe, it works well as a standalone, but don't be like me—start with book one, ""Taking Time"" and work your way through the series. I know I have some catching up to do! Highly recommended reading.

Undeniably original and audaciously humorous Mike Murphey has delivered an off-the-wall science fiction geeks smorgasbord of a novel! A novel that invalidates time-travelling tropes and clichés to take us on a laugh-out-loud journey that challenges reality. And if Mike Murphey's one aim in writing Quantum Consequence was to batter our senses into submission then he's achieved this with ease.
