"Challenger Intrepid" is a quick paced, adventurous novel of Professor Georgia Challenger, a mad scientist spinster aging ungracefully in her own hand-crafted, full prosthetic, Cybernetic vehicle. She got her start in Britain's Edwardian period, and working quietly from her home, the Central Peak upon the Mystic Plateau, our Georgia became the greatest Physicist of all time. She needs to be, because this story thrusts Georgia into a role infinitely more demanding than physics research: Time Traveling Foster Mother. She must also contend with the plotting of an indomitable archrival.So Our Georgia, in the company of her sisters, and her fosters, is tossed and flung through time and space, to find she is confronting the inexplicable quirks of historical events in alternate dimensions, rendering them unrecognizable even though populated by recognizable if not iconic figures. Our Georgia must do all this while struggling against the relentless machinations of a shadowy man who could surely be anyone's ultimate enemy: a time-traveling psychiatrist. How do you beat an enemy who has all the time in the world?Our Georgia will, for she's one brassy lady, literally. Professor Georgia Challenger is not just the world's greatest Physicist. She's also an enthusiastic amateur surgeon working in cybernetic prosthesis. She's a woman who refuses to age gracefully, and so rebuilt her body with bones of titanium, and skin of brass plates polished to a high shine. Confronting a band of men willing to steal, kill, or destroy anything to make the world a pearl of their shaping, our Georgia fights back, and fights hard. Though her enemies have fled backward in time half a millennia, and perhaps halfway again, Georgia pursues. Her enemies are willing to destroy anyone to achieve their ends, yet Georgia will use precise and deliberate counter measures. Until it's time for Georgia to brawl in the street with her rivals, and she is willing to do that also, if need be. Our scrappy heroine is just as determined as the people she's chosen to oppose, and no matter where it takes her, she fights on. With the help of her sisters, the improvised family meets any challenge, and stands proud at the end of the day, even when that day includes striking bargains with a Vampire King who turns out to be more affable than the Pirate Queen. Whether it be Orleans France, ancient Constantinople, far off, and mysterious space stations, or her very own home, our Georgia doesn't back down.
