Jack
by Dr. Dean S. Hartley III
What if you could create an impenetrable force-field shield? What if you could compress distances a million times? What else could you do?
Hard science fiction, romance, intrigue, tensor, and spinor fields.
Jack Kelly was attending a conference in Hawaii for two reasons. First, the venue allowed him to present some speculative thoughts on physics and, second, it allowed him to go to Hawaii on official travel from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory – the Lab. However, Jane Kamakahi, the woman who presented just before him, described an experiment in modifying tensors. They discussed their ideas over lunch and what Jack had planned as a mini-vacation became the start of a collaboration in physics that would reshape the world.
Jack enlists Sandy McNeill, an engineer at the Lab, to help and Jane does likewise with her chief technician, Keola Parker. As they worked together, Jack discovers that he wants more than a professional relationship with Jane. Because she also has a side job as singer/songwriter, Jack decides to learn the guitar to have something in common with her besides physics.
As they begin to achieve important results, they are noticed by both Chinese and Russian intelligence agents. And in Beijing, the spy-masters plot to obtain this new technology.
