Introduced in The Clue Hunt
editClue Hunters
editAmy Cahill
editAmy Cahill (from Boston, Massachusetts) is a fourteen-year-old girl. She has jade eyes and red hair. An avid reader, Amy is fascinated with history and museums, showing herself to be intelligent and analytical. She is also agoraphobic and pyrophobic, the latter coming from haunting memories of the fire that killed her parents when she was seven. She is the protagonist of the franchise.
It was Amy who first suggested that she and Dan join The Clue Hunt. She realized exactly how real their situation was when the Starling Triplets were injured in the Franklin Institute bombing.[1] In Seoul, she trusted Ian Kabra, who betrayed her and left her for dead in a cave.[2] In Moscow, she and Dan traveled alone, finding an ally in high-ranking Lucian NRR.[3] In Australia, she declined an alliance with the Kabras and was almost fed to the sharks as a result. She also realized it was Isabel Kabra who started the fire that killed her parents.[4] In Beijing, she got in a fight with Dan over the true nature of her parents, resulting in them getting separated. On Mount Everest, she saved Ian's life but sacrificed the Janus serum in the process.[5] In Kingston, the death of Lester reminded her again of how serious the Clue Hunt was and how important it was that she and Dan won.[6] In Into the Gauntlet, after defeating Isabel, she convinced all the Cahills to write down their clues then united the family. She inherited leadership from Grace.[7]
Following the Clue Hunt, Fiske Cahill and Nellie Gomez became Amy and Dan's legal guardians, and the four rebuilt Grace's mansion.[7][8] Sinead Starling came to live with them, making various tech upgrades. Amy acquired a satellite, The Gideon, and linked it to a command center that linked Cahills across the globe. Amy took various lessons in self-defense and martial arts and began working out regularly. She attempted to reconnect with Ian Kabra but failed. She and Dan went on a small mission in Switzerland, where they encountered the Wyoming Twins and acquired Gideon's Ring. She had it made into a watch, which she wore. She then began dating Evan Tolliver.[8]
She and Dan were attacked on their school bus at 8:42 AM EST, then received a text from Vesper One. They immediately left, stealing various objects for him, such as the painting Medusa.[9] In Shatterproof, Amy, believing Ian was the traitor, confronted him.[10] In Trust No One, she learned the truth about Sinead and confronted her. Amy, Dan, Atticus, and Jake traveled by train to the Rocky Mountains, where Amy was saved by Sinead.[11] She freed the hostages but lost Evan in a fight against the Vespers. After Isabel destroyed the Doomsday Device, Amy was left unconscious by the explosion.[12]
During William McIntyre's funeral, Amy was attacked and thrown into an open grave. She escaped, discovering journalists and paparazzi were following her. The government seized the command center, while she and Dan went to confront J. Rutherford Pierce. She, Dan, and Nellie traveled to Ireland, where she discovered Olivia Cahill's journal and the antidote for the serum. With the help of allies, she led the Cahills to find various ingredients to the antidote. A fight with Jake Rosenbloom led her to journey to the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, where she almost froze to death but was saved by Cara Pierce. In Guatemala, Amy took a dose of the pure serum to save Dan. She began experiencing the negative side effects, giving Dan temporary power because she did not trust her judgment. In Cambodia, she was the most hesitant to trust Cara. At the clam bake, she flew the crop duster with the antidote, but lost consciousnesses and crashed the plane into the ocean. After arriving at Pierce Landing, Amy typed the passcode to shut off Pierce's nukes. She resigned as leader of the Cahills, giving power to Ian Kabra. She and Dan returned Olivia's journal, then took up traveling.[13]
Following Nathaniel's takeover, Amy and Dan were recruited from Mont Blanc. Despite Ian being the leader, Amy was frequently looked to for leadership. She journeyed on the second Titanic, getting trapped in Antarctica by Alec Spasky. She was locked in a closet on an airship along with Dan and Hamilton Holt. Following the events in Mission Hurricane, Ian gave Amy her leadership position back. She traveled with Jonah Wizard and Hamilton Holt to Shanghai, where she was captured by Alec Spasky. He faked killing her, then allied with her. He brought her to The Hive, where she discovered Nathaniel's bees. Following Nathaniel's defeat, Amy decided Cahill leadership would transition to a new Cahill every four years. She appointed Dan the current leader.
She was willing to speak with Sinead and consider forgiving her and traveled with Dan to Havana. They found Sinead, escaping the city on a small motorboat and taking refuge at the abandoned Ekat stronghold in the Bermuda Triangle. There, Sinead made an antidote to the dancing virus, and Amy administered it to an infected Ian Kabra.

Despite wanting the million dollars, Dan was more than willing to embark on the Clue Hunt for Grace. He was tied up by Ian in Paris and lost the Lucian serum.[14] In Moscow, he and Amy left Nellie alone, discovering Lucian officer NRR was helping them find the Amber Room and their fifth clue.[15] In Beijing, a fight with Amy caused them to separate, and he went on his own adventure with Jonah Wizard. This led to him getting trapped with the terracotta soldiers and an assassin actively trying to kill him.[16] He reunited with Amy and considered quitting the Clue Hunt after Lester's death.[17] He discovered the clue on Shakespeare's Tomb. On Cahill Island, he went up with Eisenhower and Hamilton Holt, discovered the elevator, and went back down to get the others. He saw and memorized the recipe for the serum.[18]
Following the Clue Hunt, Nellie Gomez and Fiske Cahill became his legal guardians. At Amy's command, he engaged in training, both physical and mental, to prepare for any future missions or threat he's have to deal with. He became friends with Atticus Rosenbloom, though their communication was strictly virtual. He also went on a small mission in Switzerland, where he first encountered the Vespers.[19][20]
Along with Amy, he was attacked at 8:42 AM EST. In Rome, he found and stole an original copy of Il Milione, despite Atticus' pleas of letting it be sent to a museum for study. After explaining to the Rosenbloom brothers the Vesper's threats, the four become allies, traveling the world and stealing objects for Vesper One.[21][22][23][24][25][26] After witnessing Nellie getting shot, he secretly began collecting the 39 clues. In Trust No One, he met with Cahill scientists Sammy Mourad to make the serum. In Day of Doom, he tried to take the serum, but Amy confessed to switching it out with water. Unknown to her, he had a second dose, which he saved for later. Between Cahills vs Vespers and Unstoppable, J. Rutherford Pierce stole Sammy's lab research that existed because of Dan. In Countdown, when Dan was in danger of falling to his death, Amy took the serum to save him.
In Athens, Dan unintentionally broke two skydiving world records while escaping from one of the traitors. He experienced firsthand the tidal wave intended to recreate Hurricane Katrina in Amsterdam, as he was on a small boat in the water. In Mission Atomic, he was captured by Nathaniel and brought to The Hive, where he saw the killer bees. In Outbreak, he was adamantly against forgiving Sinead but agreed to venture to Havana with Amy. Once Dan had confirmation that Sinead's antidote worked, he injected himself with the virus to keep enemies away from the Cahills.

It lays the groundwork for most of classical mechanics. In this work, Newton described universal gravitation and the three laws of motion, which dominated the scientific view of the physical universe for the next three centuries. Newton showed that the motions of objects on Earth and of celestial bodies are governed by the same set of natural laws, by demonstrating the consistency between Kepler's laws of planetary motion and his theory of gravitation; thus removing the last doubts about heliocentrism and advancing the Scientific Revolution.
