Description
Jay and Sandra are back—fighting to save a world on the edge of destruction.
In the middle of a bizarre global catastrophe that looks suspiciously like the mother of all timesplashes, Sandra Malone discovers that the corporation she works for is spying on her. To find out why, she sets off to track down the culprits. What she discovers catapults Sandra, her daughter, and everyone around her into a deadly struggle to prevent a disaster.
Now working in European Military Intelligence in Berlin, Jay Kennedy begins to suspect that the shock that hit the world was something more sinister and dangerous than even a timesplash. In the midst of the chaos that has engulfed the world, Jay learns that Sandra is in danger and that their daughter has gone after her. This turn of events threatens to distract him from solving a puzzle on which the fate of the whole world might hang.
With time running out, Jay is torn between the possibility of losing Sandra, and the desperate need to stop a new kind of time-travel technology that could destroy the planet.
A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
I'm a bit wary of time travel novels, because writers either ignore unresolved paradoxes, or get themselves so entangled, they have to make plot holes to clamber out again.
For those unfamiliar with time travel, the most basic paradox is the one where you travel back in time, kill your own grandfather, and consequently never exist in order to go back in time and kill your own.... you get the point.
Happily, Graham Storrs has created a stunningly elegant solution, which sits at the heart of this exciting thriller, set in the near future. Time travellers are "lobbed" back in time, like bricks into a pond, ultimately being dragged back to the present after a few hours. The impact of the consequent ripples is what causes all the problems.
The action is tense and believable; characters are well-rounded and psychologically plausible; and the resolution is immensely satisfying. It has that best quality of all adventure stories: it's impossible to put down.
Highly recommended if you're after an action thriller that's well-written, clever and - in my opinion - a damn sight better on all fronts than the latest Dan Brown. In fact, I'm not sure I should mention these two authors in the same breath - it seems disrespectful to Storrs.
