Author Description

In this anthology of short stories, adventurers travel back in time to: a college campus in 1900, ancient Greece at the time of Socrates, Elba Island where Napoleon is exiled in 1815, Bronze Age Poland, a small Texas town in 1948, and a Michigan village just prior to the 1929 stock market crash. Others travel to the future from the 1970s and discover the Soviet Empire collapsed in the early 1990s and 21st century Hong Kong is ruled by authoritarian China. Visitors who leave “the present” learn that oceans had become the major source of food and solar energy was universal by the early 22nd century while lush vegetation replaced the desert in 26th century northwest Africa. Crises are confronted: Can a young boy who sees the future prevent deadly accidents? Will a team of divers be able to stop sailors from boarding a ship destined to sink in Lake Superior? What effect will prevention of an assassination have on the underlying hatred that motivated it?
