Be careful what you wish for, because it may turn on you in The Outlaw Killis Kerg by Mike Murphey.
It’s midway through the 21st century, and time travel is spreading. Who doesn’t want to travel back in time to change their present? However, the best plans can often bring dire consequences. When those in the present invent time travel, then people in the future also have the same ability. What might the future impose on the past to change the course of humanity?
Marta Hamilton and Marshall Grissom believe their time-traveling days are soon coming to an end. But while vacationing on their boat, they’re attacked by a group of intruders; they leap into action to defend themselves, and after defeating their attackers they recognize one of them from the time travel office. Someone ordered this attack. The intrigue begins, energizing Marta and Marshall on a journey to overturn the political machinations of a powerful partnership between government and corporate power. Their search leads to the ultimate confrontation against the cult of vengeance and The Outlaw Gillis Kerg.
Despite the high stakes, Marta and Marshall keep their biting sense of humor.
When they discover a federal judge murdered, the clues indicate what they most feared. This murder was committed by an agent from the future, but how do you prove something like that? Marta and Marshall must find a way to do so, and catch the killer.
They are pushed, as a team, to risk their lives for the truth. Even when they realize they’re walking into a trap, they must move forward, with creative precautions. Marta and Marshall are a thrilling pair, diving into the storm, defying the forces against them, including those powerful opponents who sometimes act in unfamiliar, futuristic ways. Their challenging confrontations are an exciting read.
Author Mike Murphey has continued his epic Physics, Lust and Greed series with this fourth book that treats his readers to the same high level of action.
The author’s witty humor is laced throughout the dialogue, with pointed political satire. Readers will cheer for Marta and Marshall from the beginning, and find the other characters, including the US President, unique and entertaining. Some of these other characters may seem outrageous, but each follows their own motives.
Writing about all the past, present, and future actors invading different times could become overwhelming, but Murphey is very clear in his plotting and makes the action easy to follow.
Will Marta and Marshall prove the killer of the judge, come from the future? Can they catch that killer? How will they confront The Outlaw Gillis Kerg?
