The protagonist invents a condenser (and also finds out time doesn't exist - what would the Doctor say?).

I loved the Amelia Peabody books! I read the entire series about 5 years ago. They are such fun books to read. The plots aren't always the greatest, but as the series goes on you really become attached to the characters.

Would post apocalyptic count for urban modern setting? Or are you looking more for being in a city?
This week saw a new hero arise for Team DC and that had a huge impact in this week's results. Kevin made a lot of points for Team DC, especially with the recruitment of Green Lantern and Catwoman.
Nara added to these by defeating Kang.
For Team Marvel Sam (Iselin) recruited Daredevil. How appropriate at the moment.
Both teams managed to acquire 2 Energy Cells.

I'm looking for a modern city setting here. And that should still have some form of civilization.
