Would You Jump Into A Raging World War To Save Your Father?A richly detailed, inventive historical thriller about family, love, and the power of secrets to taint lives.Jack Arduino is a brilliant scientist and an Annapolis graduate with a successful Navy career behind him. Now, at the peak of his career at a prestigious research agency and in love with a bright and daring woman, Jack risks it all to pursue his lifelong dream.At a conference in Atlanta, Jack meets a quirky, ham-fisted physicist named Tommy, who presents him with an irresistible opportunity by declaring that humankind's dream of time travel is now a reality. Step into the blue fog. It's perfectly safe.A well-researched and artfully described mystery featuring a hero in the mold of Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan and a terrific plot twist you'll never see coming, Time Scripts is a genuinely suspenseful time travel page-turner.When he jumps to 1941, Jack finds himself unprepared to face its strange and unsettling realities. In the whirlwind of events of wartime Europe, he must question everything he knows about the past, his parents, and even about time itself. With his father to save, a determined killer on his trail, the woman he loves in mortal danger, and trying to figure out how to survive in war-torn Europe, there's a lot happening in Jack Arduino's time travel journey. How can Jack find his young father in Mussolini's Italy, and what will he say if he finds him? Back in 2008, mysterious gamma ray emissions lead investigators to an unexpected address-an apartment building on a quiet street in a leafy Atlanta neighborhood. There's no incriminating evidence on the scene-except for what can only be described as a gutted-out refrigerator. The strange contraption and its creator go missing and now, with shock waves rippling through Atlanta and Washington, everyone's desperate to find them. As the FBI, DARPA and Homeland Security scramble to get their hands on the elusive machine, no one's motives can be trusted. A story of love across time - and for all times - about a man lost in time, the woman who jumps to save him, and their desperate quest for redemption and survival. Time Scripts is a highly readable and entirely original novel about losing and finding yourself, the inexorable march of time, and how, with enough daring and good luck, we might find happiness for ourselves and for the ones we love.… (plus d'informations)
