TimeJack

About the Book

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to able to control time? Not by using a time machine… The actual manipulation of temporal flow by sheer mind power… Brian Fox knows all about this topic. He is a timejockey, one of a small number of people blessed, or maybe cursed, with this ability. Cursed because his children and then his wife are hijacked in time, timejacked, by terrifying individuals who wish Fox to use his temporal capabilities to perform a little task for them—a task that could possibly mean the end of the Universe! Blessed because only by the use of these capabilities can he save the ones he loves and, incidentally, the Universe.

The TimeJack storyline spans from the twentieth to the twenty-seventh century and, if not quite across the Galaxy, at least along most of our spiral arm. Along the way, various strange and interesting characters are encountered, from the amazingly cute and pixiesque M’phtl to the appalling Lardhead, by way of Jenny Carter, down to earth English rose and nanny to the Fox household. The action includes hand to hand combat, use of puns, sword fights, gun fights and even a space battle.
