A captivating fusion of Doctor Who, Harry Potter and His Dark Materials. "The novel moves at a fantastic pace, and the author has seamlessly blended real historical moments with his own time travel mythology…" One step away from prison, 17-year-old Joshua Jones steals a WW2 medal from the house of a local eccentric, the Colonel, and finds himself transported back to Hitler's war rooms in 1944. Josh discovers that the Colonel belongs to a mysterious Order dedicated to protecting history from the forces of chaos. With the help of a feisty librarian, Caitlin, Josh begins an epic adventure into a fantastical world of alternate histories, time guilds and the nightmarish creatures of the maelstrom. But Josh can’t escape his old life, and when a mission goes horribly wrong, he is forced to face the ugly secrets of his broken past… and the overwhelming temptation to make a forbidden alteration. Caught between a magical world of infinite possibilities and a life of crime, will he use his new-found powers to alter his own timeline? *REVISED EDITION 2021* Reviews have said: "...if you're a fan of British sci-fi (like me) then you're in for a real treat with a very slight shade of Doctor Who (without the Aliens), but with secret societies, a healthy dose of science, quantum gadgets and conspiracies that weave in real historical figures…" "I love that it is intertwined with real historical events …" "An interesting mix of history and sci-fi that takes you on a journey into another world…" "Great stuff. Move over, Mrs Rowling, you have competition. "
