Keeping It Real Quantum Gravity | Book 1 Horror Book Review

“There’s a treat in store for you all, as the new Justina   Robson is out. Lila Black is a spy, and a bodyguard, and every so often she   breaks into the sheer joy of the toys she carries within her. It’s good to   see that almost naïve geek love you see among born techies translated into   a character so beautifully. The only truly bad thing about this book is   that it isn’t stand-alone and now I’ve got to wait until she’s finished   writing the next one, wanting much, much more.” —Starburst (Five Star   review) 

The Quantum Bomb of 2015 changed everything. The fabric that kept the   universe’s different dimensions apart was torn and now, six years later,  the people of earth exist in uneasy company with the inhabitants of,  amongst others, the elfin, elemental, and demonic realms. Magic is real and   can be even more dangerous than technology. Elves are exotic, erotic,  dangerous, and really bored with the constant Lord of the Rings references.  Elementals are a law unto themselves and demons are best left well to   themselves.   

Special agent Lila Black used to be pretty, but now she’s not so sure. Her   body is more than half restless carbon and metal alloy machinery, a machine   she’s barely in control of. It goes into combat mode, enough weapons for a   small army springing from within itself, at the merest provocation. As for   her heart, well, ever since being drawn into a game by the elfin rockstar   Zal (lead singer of the No Shows), who she’s been assigned to protect,  she’s not even sure she can trust that any more either.
