"A fast-paced sci-fi thriller featuring
time travel to Victorian
England."

Greg Guma’s latest novel
stars Tonio Wolfe, who discovers that his company, TELPORT, can use “Remote
Viewing” to open wormholes to the past. After his co-workers Danny and
Angel let him use the technology to search for Jack the Ripper, Tonio travels
to Victorian England and tracks the killer while falling in love with radical
leader Annie Besant. Meanwhile, Tonio tries to keep the knowledge of Remote
Viewing from his father, ruthless Serbian mob boss Shelley, who owns and wants
to exploit TELPORT for commercial use.
The novel tracks the growth of Tonio’s political consciousness, from
apathetic Mafia scion to committed opponent of institutional injustice, thanks
to the influence of Annie and Tonio’s college friend Harry, a member of Occupy
Wall Street. The scenes in Victorian England have an impressive amount of
historical detail and include conversations among historical figures such as
the playwright George Bernard Shaw and populist leader Ignatius Donnelly. Many
of the novel’s subplots knit together, with Tonio’s quest to discover the true
identity of Jack the Ripper mirroring his relationship with his father and his
discovery of repressed memories from childhood.
While the novel raises questions about government surveillance, it
disappointingly doesn’t follow up on the implications, with the government
acting as a sort of deus ex machina to help Tonio. Still, fans of historical
fiction and sci-fi should enjoy this novel. It’s not deep, but it’s
well-researched and entertaining, and even readers familiar with the Victorian
era will learn about some interesting characters along the way.
Well-constructed, action-flooded sci-fi set in a realistic historical
world.
