Reddit mentions of Physics Incarnate

Since this subreddit asks for more info in a top-level comment...Hi! I'm Jesse. About two years ago I put out a novel called Physics Incarnate, but I didn't even know of this subreddit at the time. This week, I've launched the sequel to that story, Physics Reincarnate.

What are they about? Well, to sum up the series, they're centered around a physics professor named Emmett Eisenberg who happens to be a super-human endowed with the power to manipulate physics. It's in the title, really! Anyway, ten years ago Emmett and some colleagues were involved in a research project aimed at using super-human abilities to improve humankind. This project did not end well.

Ten years later, in the first book, Emmett is enjoying life as a teacher at a college, and everyone around him (including the reader) has no idea about what Emmett's history was. He's even dating the associate chair of the psychology department, who just happens to be writing a book on delusions of grandeur! Some of Emmett's old colleagues convince him to have a reunion. At first this all seems well and good, and our physicist friend seems happy to be talking to his old buddies again! It doesn't take long before it becomes obvious to his girlfriend (and the reader) that these guys aren't normal; at first, it's easy to dismiss them as a clique of paranoid nutters. At the "twist" of the book, Emmett's superhuman nature is revealed to the reader as well as his girlfriend, who predictably freaks out. From that point on, Emmett has to face his past and make amends as best he can - after all, just because there are super-heroes in the world doesn't mean Emmett was always strictly on their side.

Our second book, the one released this week, picks up with Emmett having to bail his colleague James Lowery out of jail. Jim is endowed with the power of superhuman senses - balance, hearing, sight, whatever. He isn't super-strong or super-fast, but his skill makes him incredibly deadly, and his alcoholism makes him a danger to himself as well as others. Jim is distressed that he's been asked by his contacts at the CIA to investigate an odd radio broadcast coming from Alaska - in particularly, coming from near one of Emmett's new research facilities on climate change. This leads Emmett, Jim, and their group into a death-match with another super-human organization, one that is all too prepared for Emmett's old crew.
