The Outlaw Gillis Kerg
... is the fourth book in the Physics,
Lust and Greed Series by Mike Murphey and another satisfying entry in the
series that will keep fans turning the pages. Marta Hamilton, who has bullied
her Happy Home Companion to silence, and her fellow time traveler, Marshall
Grissom, are almost sure they will have no more business with the past until a
federal judge is killed. Their investigation takes them to Arizona, resulting
in a confrontation with Gillis Kerg, a man with a terrible hatred for science,
bent on disrupting the order that the consortium of powerful companies and governments
has created.
Mike Murphey's writing is perfect and this installment in the series continues
to deliver the kind of entertainment that readers look for in works of science
fiction. This one will surely win over readers; the plot is cleverly written and
the author creates an environment where science thrives, with advanced time
travel technology and an invention designed to make life most comfortable and
easy for users for ensuring security— the Happy Home Companion software that is
created to do the human bidding. Everything could have been perfect, except
someone is determined to destroy science. The elements of science fiction are
alluring in this immensely satisfying tale. There is much that will appeal in
this mesmerizing and boldly accomplished work that blends time travel,
conspiracy, and power control to pack a powerful punch. The excellent prose,
the finely drawn characters, especially the outcast Gillis, the intelligently
developed scientific concept, and the dazzling world-building are some of the
elements to highlight in this book. Mike Murphey is a master at writing
engaging dialogues, even interactions between the characters and the software. The Outlaw Gillis Kerg ...is fast-paced
and immersive, a novel that examines the delights and dangers of time travel.
