Black Tiger (Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Mrs. Chen Book 1)

Description

Thief . . . murderer . . . kidnapper . . . Mrs. Chen is all this and more, including philanthropist and developer of cures to multiple diseases. Right now, she needs the help of cutting edge technology, and there is one man who can give it to her.

Jonathan Chesterfield is a twenty-fourth-century tech prodigy who discovers a naturally occurring phenomenon and develops a vehicle that allows him to travel backwards in time. When she gets wind of his new invention, Mrs. Chen infiltrates his company, steals his tech, and strands him in early eighteenth century China with no hope of return. With nothing but a few coins and a sack lunch, he is forced to make his fortune in a foreign world, while gathering clues left by a mysterious benefactor seemingly working against Mrs. Chen to help him get back home.
