An accident with an antigravity machine catapulted Peter Schock and Kate Dyer back to 1763. A bungled rescue attempt leaves Peter stranded in the eighteenth century while a terrifying villain, the Tar Man, takes his place and explodes onto twenty-first-century London. Concerned about the potentially catastrophic effects of time travel, the NASA scientists responsible for the situation question whether it is right to rescue Peter. Kate decides to take matters into her own hands, but things don't go as planned. Soon the physical effects of time travel begin to have a disturbing effect on her. Meanwhile, in our century, the Tar Man wreaks havoc in a city whose police force is powerless to stop him.Set against a backdrop of contemporary London and revolutionary France, The Time Thief is the sequel to the acclaimed The Time Travelers.

It needs to elastic. To understand truly, you have to see time as the most important resource we have. You mess with it at your peril.

Book excerpt: Born in 1922, Charles Austin Sherman has written a book about his experiences that few people can ever claim! His mother was a famous American actress of the time. As a child he lived in Manhattan and summered on Long Island. After his parents divorce, his mother met and married Colonel John Bigelow Dodge, an American-educated British citizen who saved her life while she was swimming and was caught in a rogue current. Dodge (Steve McQueen starred as Col. Dodge in the movie, The Great Escape), was a war hero and a good friend of Winston Churchill. John Dodge moved his new family to London where they were to stay. And so the stage was set for meeting famous people and history makers. People who cross the pages of this book include: Winston Churchill, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Adolf Hitler, Herman Goering, Tito, Mussolinis son-in-law, Ernest Hemingway, Marlene Dietrich, General George C. Marshall, King Edward VIII, Wallis Simpson, and Eva Peron. Anyone who is interested in the period and in the wars that tore nations apart will find this personal account to be fascinating reading. Mr. Sherman continues to live a charmed life in Tampa, Florida.

Book excerpt: A globetrotting, time-bending, wildly entertaining masterpiece hailed by the New York Times Book Review as "Audaciously well written...the book I was raving about to my friends before I'd even finished it." Publishers Weekly raved that "with near-universal appeal . . . Seay’s debut novel is a true delight, a big, beautiful cabinet of wonders that is by turns an ominous modern thriller, a supernatural mystery, and an enchanting historical adventure story." Set in three cities in three eras, The Mirror Thief calls to mind David Mitchell and Umberto Eco in its mix of entertainment and literary bravado. The core story is set in Venice in the sixteenth century, when the famed makers of Venetian glass were perfecting one of the old world's most wondrous inventions: the mirror. An object of glittering yet fearful fascination—was it reflecting simple reality, or something more spiritually revealing?—the Venetian mirrors were state of the art technology, and subject to industrial espionage by desirous sultans and royals world-wide. But for any of the development team to leave the island was a crime punishable by death. One man, however—a world-weary war hero with nothing to lose—has a scheme he thinks will allow him to outwit the city's terrifying enforcers of the edict, the ominous Council of Ten . . . Meanwhile, in two other Venices—Venice Beach, California, circa 1958, and the Venice casino in Las Vegas, circa today—two other schemers launch similarly dangerous plans to get away with a secret . . . All three stories will weave together into a spell-binding tour-de-force that is impossible to put down—an old-fashioned, stay-up-all-night novel that, in the end, returns the reader to a stunning conclusion in the original Venice . . . and the bedazzled sense of having read a truly original and thrilling work of art.
