THE GREAT ACTION

2015

by Alex Letner

Comic book. This is the last part (section #4) of the first Super Indy Story. A secret community, masking as a carrot farm, is looking for someone who possesses a special sort of power they need. They suspect somebody, but they are not sure. If they are right, the community will have access to the tomorrow-direct-access-time-tunnel.

Anyway, that person might be taken to a special facility for an examination. He should be taken, even if he does not want to go. Meanwhile, a college administration is worrying about the disappearance of a college professor and is starting search actions. Mysteriously, the professor has materialized the same day on a parking lot bench… unconscious.

Meanwhile, Indy, the certified yoga master, while teaching yoga, discovered his power to rule machines (or that is what it looks like).

Meanwhile, Tesha, despite being a very pretty woman, is sad due to some unpleasant circumstances in her life: she has not practiced love for about two years already. She became depressed about this until she met some young men who represented themselves as… angels. And more things happened.

The Watchmaker of Filigree Street

2015

by Natasha Pulley

1883. Thaniel Steepleton returns home to his tiny London apartment to find a gold pocket watch on his pillow. Six months later, the mysterious timepiece saves his life, drawing him away from a blast that destroys Scotland Yard. At last, he goes in search of its maker, Keita Mori, a kind, lonely immigrant from Japan. Although Mori seems harmless, a chain of unexplainable events soon suggests he must be hiding something.

When Grace Carrow, an Oxford physicist, unwittingly interferes, Thaniel is torn between opposing loyalties. The Watchmaker of Filigree Street is a sweeping, atmospheric narrative that takes the reader on an unexpected journey through Victorian London, Japan as its civil war crumbles long-standing traditions, and beyond. Blending historical events with dazzling flights of fancy, it opens doors to a strange and magical past.

A God in Ruins

2015

by Kate Atkinson

A God in Ruins is the stunning companion to Kate Atkinson's #1 bestseller Life After Life. In this novel, Atkinson shifts her focus to Ursula Todd's beloved younger brother, Teddy—a would-be poet, RAF bomber pilot, husband, and father—who navigates the perils and progress of the 20th century.

For all Teddy endures in battle, his greatest challenge is living in a future he never expected to have. The narrative switches back and forth in time, exploring Teddy's childhood memories and his post-war life as he grapples with a rapidly changing world and family dynamics.

This ingenious and moving exploration of one ordinary man's path through extraordinary times proves once again that Kate Atkinson is one of the finest novelists of our age. A God in Ruins is a poignant reflection on the loss of innocence, the transition from war to peace, and the enduring power of family bonds.

Landline

2015

by Rainbow Rowell

Georgie McCool knows her marriage is in trouble; it has been in trouble for a long time. She still loves her husband, Neal, and Neal still loves her, deeply — but that almost seems beside the point now. Maybe that was always beside the point.

Two days before they’re supposed to visit Neal’s family in Omaha for Christmas, Georgie tells Neal that she can’t go. She’s a TV writer, and something’s come up on her show; she has to stay in Los Angeles. She knows that Neal will be upset with her — Neal is always a little upset with Georgie — but she doesn't expect him to pack up the kids and go home without her.

When her husband and the kids leave for the airport, Georgie wonders if she’s finally done it. If she’s ruined everything.

That night, Georgie discovers a way to communicate with Neal in the past. It’s not time travel, not exactly, but she feels like she’s been given an opportunity to fix her marriage before it starts...Is that what she’s supposed to do? Or would Georgie and Neal be better off if their marriage never happened?

Mirror Sight

2015

by Kristen Britain

Karigan G'ladheon is a Green Rider—a seasoned member of the elite messenger corps of King Zachary of Sacoridia. This corps of messengers, each gifted with a brooch of office that imparts a unique magical ability to its wearer, was founded over a thousand years ago during the terrible time of the Long War.


During that spell-fueled war, Sacoridia was besieged by the sorcerous armies of the Arcosian Empire, led by Mornhavon the Black. When Sacoridia finally triumphed, Mornhavon resorted to dark magic that rendered his twisted spirit immortal. Determined to keep the realm safe from this terrifying enemy, multitudes of Sacoridian magicians sacrificed their lives to build the immense D'Yer Wall, imprisoning the dangerous spirit of Mornhavon in Blackveil Forest, which uncontrolled magic had mutated into a perilous and unnatural place.


For over a thousand years, the magic of the D'Yer Wall protected the people of Sacoridia, but as the centuries passed, memory of how the wall had been built was lost as a traumatized nation turned its back on magic. And when a malicious entity cracked the massive wall, there were none left who knew how to repair it. Desperate to regain the knowledge and repair the ever-expanding breach in the wall, agents of the king scoured the kingdom for magical relics and information.


Finally, in a last-ditch attempt to gain time, Karigan, whose Rider brooch enabled her to "fade"—sometimes traversing the layers of time and space—was able to catapult the spirit of Mornhavon into the future. But how far into the future was anyone's guess.


Realizing that this might be their only chance to enter Blackveil and examine the tainted peninsula, King Zachary sends Karigan and a contingent of Sacoridians beyond the wall, along with an equal number of Eletians—the immortal race that eons ago lived in what is now Blackveil Forest. But in addition to the unnatural dangers of the forest itself, Karigan and her small delegation have been followed by a secret rebel sect—descendants of the original Arcosian invaders, and during a showdown between these two groups, Mornhavon suddenly reappears.


In the magical confrontation that follows, Karigan is jolted out of Blackveil and wakes in a darkness blacker than night. She's lying on smooth, cold stone, but as she reaches out, she realizes that the stone is not just beneath her, but above and around her as well. She's landed in a sealed stone sarcophagus, some unknown tomb, and the air is becoming thin.


Is this to be her end? If she escapes, where will she find herself? Is she still in the world she remembers, or has the magical explosion transported her somewhere completely different? To find out, she must first win free of her prison—before it becomes her grave. And should she succeed, will she be walking straight into a trap created by Mornhavon himself?

Burton’s been moonlighting online, secretly working security in some game prototype, a virtual world that looks vaguely like London, but a lot weirder. He’s got Flynne taking over shifts, promised her the game’s not a shooter. Still, the crime she witnesses there is plenty bad.

Flynne and Wilf are about to meet one another. Her world will be altered utterly, irrevocably, and Wilf’s, for all its decadence and power, will learn that some of these third-world types from the past can be badass.

The Day Jesus Rode Into Croydon

2014

by Kirk St Moritz

When Joseph awoke, it was somewhat of a surprise to see the four horsemen of the apocalypse thunder past his bedroom window with a blatant disregard for his usual waking routine. As suburbia was coming to terms with this rather unusual start to the day, Joseph was reluctantly coming to terms with the fact that perhaps the prophecy was true after all. Ever since his encounter with failed television star turned religious messiah Jack Connolly, Joseph had struggled with his own role as the saviour of humanity: rarely were self-certified wasters called to the ultimate battle between Good and Evil. Certainly he couldn't expect any help from his friends. Danny's encyclopaedic knowledge of Roger Moore films, although impressive was unlikely to prove beneficial come the End of Days. New girlfriend Mia was unlikely to be much help either, labouring as she was under the impression that Joseph was someone else entirely. As such he felt justified in asking how exactly he had ended up as the world's most unlikely hero.

Set in the contemporary suburbs of London, entwined with the golden days of a childhood of the 1980's, the truth lies on a treacherous path. The mysterious events of twenty years previous, long since buried, are about to awake with devastating effect. As the past, present and future converge, an important question becomes paramount: Is the oncoming apocalypse even real?

The Day Jesus Rode into Croydon expertly blends intrigue, humour and mystery into a unique and compelling story, exploring the very heart of human nature.

As the semester progresses, Mari learns that Seth might just have a life of his own that’s actually from the past. Suddenly Mari finds her future along with her past put into question.

If Mari can trust her heart enough to follow him, Seth will lead Mari on an adventure of a lifetime and reveal family secrets she never knew existed.

A Tale for the Time Being

2013

by Ruth Ozeki

In Tokyo, sixteen-year-old Nao has decided there’s only one escape from her aching loneliness and her classmates’ bullying. But before she ends it all, Nao first plans to document the life of her great-grandmother, a Buddhist nun who’s lived more than a century. A diary is Nao’s only solace—and will touch lives in ways she can scarcely imagine.

Across the Pacific, we meet Ruth, a novelist living on a remote island who discovers a collection of artifacts washed ashore in a Hello Kitty lunchbox—possibly debris from the devastating 2011 tsunami. As the mystery of its contents unfolds, Ruth is pulled into the past, into Nao’s drama and her unknown fate, and forward into her own future.

Full of Ozeki’s signature humor and deeply engaged with the relationship between writer and reader, past and present, fact and fiction, quantum physics, history, and myth, A Tale for the Time Being is a brilliantly inventive, beguiling story of our shared humanity and the search for home.

Quantum Roots

2012

by Kyle Keyes

Jesse Joe Jacks was born sometime during the snow blizzard of 1923. The Lower Elk County game warden died from a lightning strike on July 23, 1959.

Crimes Against Magic

2012

by Steve McHugh

It’s been almost ten years since Nathan Garrett woke on a cold warehouse floor with nothing but a gun, a sword, and no idea of who he was or how he got there. His only clue was a piece of paper with his name on it.

When the barrier holding his past captive begins to crumble, Nathan swears to protect a young girl who is key to his enemy’s plans. But with his enemies closing in, and everyone he cares about becoming a target for their wrath, Nathan is forced to choose between the life he’s built for himself and the one buried deep inside him.

Crimes Against Magic is an Urban Fantasy set in modern-day London with historical flashbacks to early fifteenth-century France. It's book one of the Hellequin Chronicles, a series about Nathan (Nate) Garrett, a centuries-old sorcerer.

Caine's Law

Some laws you break. Some break you. And then there’s Caine’s Law.

From the moment Caine first appeared in the pages of Heroes Die, it was clear that Matthew Stover was one of the most gifted fantasy writers of his generation. Caine emerged as a hero whose peers go by names like Conan and Elric. Like them, Caine was something new: a civilized man who embraced savagery, an actor whose life was a lie, a force of destruction so potent that even gods thought twice about crossing him.

Now, Stover brings back his greatest creation for his most stunning performance yet. Caine is washed up and hung out to dry, a crippled husk kept isolated and restrained by the studio that exploited him. Now they have dragged him back for one last deal. But Caine has other plans.

Those plans take him back to Overworld, the alternate reality where gods are real and magic is the ultimate weapon. There, in a violent odyssey through time and space, Caine will face the demons of his past, find true love, and just possibly destroy the universe. Hey, it’s a crappy job, but somebody’s got to do it.

The Magic Charm

It was a lovely silver necklace with a strange antique charm — an early sixteenth birthday present from her parents. But now Samantha clutched the charm, desperate to disappear when her father discovered she'd wrecked his BMW.

Suddenly she was standing in the bedchamber of Edward VI, the young king of England in 1553. He was her own age — and cute. Why hadn't she studied her history? Sam only knew that Edward had died at about sixteen — and she was determined to save him.

He seemed to expect her. He called her "my sweet angel." She should have recognized the danger when the scheming Duke of Northumberland tried to come between them. But Edward protected her — especially as the ailing young king grew healthy, and rumors of marriage began.

She thought she was safe — until a handsome young stranger stole her heart and swept her into the middle of deadly sixteenth-century court intrigue.

Could she ever go home again?

Night Watch

2011

by Terry Pratchett

People die, and nothing changes.'For a policeman, there can be few things worse than a serial killer at loose in your city. Except, perhaps, a serial killer who targets coppers, and a city on the brink of bloody revolution. The people have found their voice at last, the flags and barricades are rising...And the question for a policeman, an officer of the law, a defender of the peace, is:Are you with them, or are you against them?

The Case of the Displaced Detective: The Arrival

The Case of the Displaced Detective: The Arrival is a science fiction mystery in which the brilliant hyperspatial physicist, Dr. Skye Chadwick, discovers the existence of alternate realities, often populated by characters we consider only literary. Her secret project, Project: Tesseract, hidden deep under Schriever AFB, identifies Continuum 114, where Sherlock Holmes was supposed to perish alongside Moriarty at the Reichenbach Falls.

In a knee-jerk reaction, Skye rescues Holmes, who inadvertently travels through the wormhole to our universe, while his enemy plunges to his death. Unable to return without causing devastating continuum collapse, Holmes must stay in our world and adapt.

Meanwhile, the Schriever AFB Department of Security uncovers a spy ring working to extract the details of—and possibly sabotage—Project: Tesseract. Can Chadwick help Holmes get up to speed with modern investigative techniques in time to stop the spies? Will Holmes thrive in our modern world? Is Chadwick now Holmes' new "Watson"—or more? And what happens next?

11/22/63

2011

by Stephen King

Stephen King’s #1 bestselling time-travel novel—now a limited series on Hulu starring James Franco! On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy died, and the world changed. What if you could change it back?

In this brilliantly conceived tour de force, Stephen King—who has absorbed the social, political, and popular culture of his generation more imaginatively and thoroughly than any other writer—takes readers on an incredible journey into the past and the possibility of altering it.

It begins with Jake Epping, a thirty-five-year-old English teacher in Lisbon Falls, Maine, who makes extra money teaching GED classes. He asks his students to write about an event that changed their lives, and one essay blows him away—a gruesome, harrowing story about the night more than fifty years ago when Harry Dunning’s father came home and killed his mother, his sister, and his brother with a sledgehammer. Reading the essay is a watershed moment for Jake, his life—like Harry’s, like America’s in 1963—turning on a dime.

Not much later his friend Al, who owns the local diner, divulges a secret: his storeroom is a portal to the past, a particular day in 1958. And Al enlists Jake to take over the mission that has become his obsession—to prevent the Kennedy assassination. So begins Jake’s new life as George Amberson, in a different world of Ike and JFK and Elvis, of big American cars and sock hops and cigarette smoke everywhere. From the dank little city of Derry, Maine (where there’s Dunning business to conduct), to the warmhearted small town of Jodie, Texas, where Jake falls dangerously in love, every turn is leading eventually, of course, to a troubled loner named Lee Harvey Oswald and to Dallas, where the past becomes heart-stoppingly suspenseful, and where history might not be history anymore. Time-travel has never been so believable. Or so terrifying.

Midwinterblood

2011

by Marcus Sedgwick

Have you ever had the feeling that you've lived another life? Been somewhere that has felt totally familiar, even though you've never been there before, or felt that you know someone well, even though you are meeting them for the first time? It happens.

In 2073, on the remote and secretive island of Blessed, where rumors say no one ages and no children are born, a visiting journalist, Eric Seven, and a young local woman named Merle are ritually slain. Their deaths echo a moment ten centuries before, when, in the dark of the moon, a king was slain, tragically torn from his queen. Their souls search to be reunited, and as mother and son, artist and child, forbidden lovers, and victims of a vampire, they come close to finding what they've lost.

This novel, comprising seven parts, each influenced by a moon - the flower moon, the harvest moon, the hunter's moon, the blood moon - tells the story of Eric and Merle, whose souls have been searching for each other since their untimely parting. Beautifully imagined, intricately and cleverly structured, this is a heart-wrenching and breathtaking love story with the hallmark Sedgwick gothic touches of atmosphere, blood-spilling, and sacrifice.
