When he’s not taking client calls, Yu visits his mother and searches for his father, who invented time travel and then vanished. The key to locating his father may be found in a book.

The Quantum Gravity series, set in a world where our reality mixes with other dimensions that are the homes to Faeries, elementals and demons, is unique in modern SF – a series that is willing to incorporate legend, myth and magic while maintaining a rigorous approach to scientific and pyschological reality. And in Lila Black Justina Robson has created an enduringly strong yet quirkily human and flawed heroine.<\/p>\n \n City of Ruin<\/span><\/a> Promo copy:<\/span><\/p>\n In the frozen north of a far-flung world lies Villiren, a city plagued by violent gangs and monstrous human\/animal hybrids, stalked by a serial killer, and targeted by an otherworldly army.

Meanwhile, reptilian rumel investigator Rumex Jeryd has come seeking refuge from Villjamur\u2019s vindictive emperor\u2014only to find a city riddled with intolerance between species, indifference to a murderer\u2019s reign of terror, and the powerful influence of criminals. As the enemy prepares to strike, and Villiren\u2019s defenders turn on each other, three refugees\u2014deposed empress Jamur Rika, her sister Eir, and the scholar Randur Estevu\u2014approach the city.
