Inventor, girl genius Tinker lives in a near-future Pittsburgh which now exists mostly in the land of the elves. She runs her salvage business, pays her taxes, and tries to keep the local ambient level of magic down with gadgets of her own design. When a pack of wargs chase an Elven noble into her scrap yard, life as she knows it takes a serious detour. Tinker finds herself taking on the Elven court, the NSA, the Elven Interdimensional Agency, technology smugglers and a college-minded Xenobiologist as she tries to stay focused on what's really important — her first date. Armed with an intelligence the size of a planet, steel-toed boots, and a junkyard dog attitude, Tinker is ready to kick butt to get her first kiss.
Reviews with the most likes.
A bit of a cross-over book, Tinker has some science fiction elements, but it is primarily a fantasy.
Due to an inter-dimensional shift Pittsburgh has become a human enclave on Elfhome. The humans have a sometimes uneasy agreement with the Elves that limits the contact between the the two races. Tinker runs a junkyard in the city. Though small in stature and young, she is an explosive combination of brains, courage, and beauty. She will need all those qualities as she faces great danger and unexpected opportunities.
The story is interesting and well-written with lots of action. Really, the pace never lets up.
Good book. 4+ stars.
