The Other Stories:
Saving The Timeline - This is part two of that story, where they clean the mess. It's revealed that by rescuing his friend from nonexistence, Drake and his girlfriend have upset a delicate balance which has triggered an international crisis that could escalate into a nuclear war. More work to do. But they're now joined by the ones they rescued.
The Murder Vicitim Who Was Still Alive - Police Inspector Dylan Murphy is working on a strange case: the body of a six-year-old boy was found buried under a pavement that hadn’t been dug up in fifty years. But the time of death was only two hours ago. What’s even more strange: the boy, Mickey Stewart, is still very much alive.
A Couple Years in the Early Life of a Time Traveller - Even though the nuclear war sparked by the Cuban Missile Crisis was stopped from happening, thanks to resourceful time travellers, the memory can be quite traumatic for an 8-year-old with the gift of time perception. The Kennedy assassination a year later, also confuses his mind.
The Great Time Shift - The Novelette begins in the timeline in which Rome was conquered by Hannibal, and never became an empire. The Parthian Empire became the prominent world power, and Christianity spread Eastward instead of West. How one egomaniac time traveller created the great time shift that sent things moving the other way, and how the Order of Timekeepers was born.
The Lives of Eoin Murray: a novella - In the beginning, there was only one Eoin Murray. He lived quite happily with his single mother up to the age of 4, when his future self arrived and murdered his mother. So, now there are two Eoin Murrays, the evil one, and the other who was raised in a different environment with better guidance. But once they merge back into one again, which side is dominant? How yet another Eoin was spawned, Eoin the Younger.If you remember something that didn’t happen, it either means you’re crazy, or you have the ability to time travel but don’t know it yet.
When Drake was nine, he was sure he had a best friend named Timmy. But Timmy didn’t exist! Now, at age sixteen, he still remembers Timmy. When he researches in the local library, he recognises pictures of people that he shouldn’t, because he wasn’t born yet when they were last seen. He even remembers a name.
Then, he meets Johann, who tells him to cover his tracks. The name he remembers is of a time travelling assassin.
Now, Drake is in over his head, because the fact that he can “remember”, means he also has the latent gift of time travel. But that’s not something to get all giddy about, like discovering you’re a superhero or something. First off, who’s going to believe you? For goodness sake, this is real life!
So begins Drake’s quest to save his best friend from non-existence, and stop the assassin from changing the world beyond recognition - because now, the assassin has murdered Johann, and Drake is the only one who can stop him.
It’s a series of interconnected stories ranging in size from short story to novella. You’ll be hooked at the end of the first, as it ends in a cliffhanger that can only be resolved in the second; Drake and his friends have to clean up a mess that resulted from the first adventure.
If you like time-travel stories about down-to-earth people, this is definitely for you.
