In the Stone Age Arctic, Osnat, a brilliant, pregnant, quantum scientist knows where she is but she doesn't know when. A mysterious technology has exiled her and her people across time to a frigid wasteland above the northern radiation belts. She and her husband Simon search for food, warmth, for any kind of help. They find instead a band of indigenous Tunniq who attack, rather than assist. Though she craves vengeance, Osnat realizes that the murderous savages are the help her people need to survive. The conflict between need and ideals tears at her as she learns their ways. Must Osnat become a brutal savage in order to save her people?
Quantum Cannibals weaves a series of intersecting stories that span time, from Bronze Age Mesopotamia to a Post-Modern city-state. It's the epic story of three incarnations of two people: alternately son and mother, husband and wife, father and daughter, savage and scholar, who simply want to return to the home they were brutally evicted from. Quantum Cannibals brings together authentic cultures and history from the far reaches of the world, from the far reaches of time.
Reviews:
"Set over a large span of time: from Bronze Age
Mesopotamia to a Post-Modern city-state, this debut of Nathan Elberg is a
dazzling expedition into a treacherous past...Elberg's outstanding fluency when
writing in various characters' voices, who are born in different time periods
is instantly absorbing, and he is brilliant when it comes to developing the
mythologies of different cultures and societies. He proficiently balances time
travel and magic with precise historical research, complex plot, intricate
worldbuilding, and top-of-the-line characterization." --Prairies Book
Review
"The author pulls it all together, however, in admirable fashion through solid characterization; the sweeping mix of science, mythology, history; and precise, yet metaphor-filled writing. Those willing to decipher it all will be greatly rewarded." --Kirkus Reviews
