The Time Takers
Saxon Andrew - 2014
Throughout history, humans have been saved a moment before they died. Those that are taken, awake to find themselves in a strange new world different from anything they had ever seen. They discover that some agency has taken them out of the time they lived and dropped them into the early Cretaceous Age. They are now faced with surviving in a world that was called the Golden Age of the Dinosaurs. Not only must they learn how to survive the giant carnivores but also survive other humans. They are challenged to build a civilization ninety million years before the first Homo sapiens appeared on Earth. The humans struggling to survive wonder if the Time Takers are a larger danger than any they face in the prehistoric world they now inhabit. One of them is determined to find out why they were taken and his quest could endanger everyone. Excerpt from: The Time Takers Suddenly, the cave was filled with a deafening roar. Everyone in the cave turned, grabbed their ears and looked to the left, where they saw an opening in the cave wall at the end of a short corridor. Something was filling the opening. Andy was stunned at what he saw. This was a nightmare that could only come from an overdose of bad drugs. Everyone fled across the cave to the wall furthest from the opening. The Romans broke formation and ran with the others. The Roman Leader held his ground and Andy saw he was shocked and frightened out of his wits. It was easy to see why. Andy sprinted across the cave and moved into the short corridor leading to the opening where a giant head with rows of sharp teeth was being pushed further into the cave. He stopped twenty feet from the head, raised the bow and fired an arrow directly into the open mouth of the huge Allosaurus. The giant reptile screamed and jerked its head back out of the opening but not before Andy had notched another arrow and hit it between the eyes with an arrow that buried itself to the fletching. The giant’s roar was silenced as it straightened up and then fell backwards. Andy put the bow over his shoulder and ran toward the entrance. He saw a large stone wheel on the right side of the opening designed to block the entrance and he ran behind it and tried to push it forward. The roars from outside the cave were getting louder…and numerous; everyone inside could hear that there were more of the nightmares that had stuck its head in the cave outside the opening. He pushed as hard as he could but the wheel was just too heavy to move. There was a channel cut into the floor for it to roll in; but it was just too massive to budge. The Roman Leader sprinted over and started pushing with Andy. They looked out of the opening as they struggled to move the stone wheel and saw ten of the giant carnivores were just outside the entrance surrounding the dead Allosaurus,. They appeared to be trying to determine what killed it. One of them looked at the cave opening and started moving toward it. Ten Samurai and five Vikings arrived at that moment and began pushing with Andy and the Roman. The wheel started moving and then rolled over the entrance just before the dinosaur arrived. The men gathered at the wheel felt it lean into the cave for a moment…and then fall back against the opening. This book is dedicated to my brother, Wayne. I wish you could have read this one.

Horemheb further insults the family by defacing Ay's tomb after his death. It is Ay's decision before his death to ensure that Ankhsenamun is not subject to dishonor by keeping her final resting place a secret.The historical significance of my story is the main reason I was able to write Sons of the Sphinx. Needing to help right a wrong done over 3000 years ago and reunite the boy king with his queen (whose tomb has yet to be identified or found), allowed my protagonist Rosa to come to terms with who she is and what her place in this world is.Blurb:Armed with what she considers her grandmother’s curse, 15-year-old Rosa agrees to help the ghost of King Tut find his lost queen Hesena. Thrust back into Ancient Egypt with Tut, Rosa discovers that finding Hesena is not all she must do.

MORE True Time Travel Stories: Amazing Real Life Stories in The News (Time Travel Books Book 2)
Richard Bullivant - 2014
Believe it. The concept of time travel has a special place in the psyche of the human race. People seem to have an natural urge to gain the ability to travel in time. Why? For some, it’s obvious. There are all those “If only’s.” “If only I could go back and correct that horrible mistake I made!” “If we could only go back in time and kill Adolf Hitler before he comes to power, imagine all the suffering that will be avoided!” “I only I would go back and tell the Titanic to steer clear of that iceberg!” But there are other appeals as well: “Wouldn’t it be great to go back and actually see the dinosaurs!” “Imagine being able to have a conversation with Socrates!” “Wouldn’t it be great if I could go back in time and find out the numbers for winning the lottery?” And then there’s the future: “I wonder what life will be like 100 years from now, 500 … a thousand? Will mankind make it?” “Wouldn’t it be great if I could go into the future and bring back the cure for cancer?” “Will we ever travel to the stars?” Now for the first time in history, science and mysticism are coming full circle to meet in the middle. Many of the stunning precepts revealed by quantum mechanics, for example, now seem to bear out what the ancient Vedic texts, Buddhists and others have been holding for centuries -- that the present way we have come to view time is not the way it is at all. Since the days of Isaac Newton, who solidified classical physics, time has been viewed as something that moves like an arrow in one direction only -- forward. From the present, the arrow of time shoots into the future. The past is where the arrow has already been, and there is never any going back there. But Albert Einstein’s theories of General and Special Relativity changed all that. Einstein himself called time “an illusion.” Other great thinkers have said that time is not so much an illusion, but works in a much different way that Newton’s “arrow of time” would have us believe. Rather, quantum theory suggests that all time is like a swirling river, with eddies, holding ponds and backward flows -- that the present is a “dynamic moment” with the past and future enfolded into the “Now.” That may mean that the present is like the “control point” of time. From the present, it may be possible to go backwards and forward in time. Maybe we can jump into the river of time and paddle backwards or forward as we please -- if we can just find the key to doing so. Buddhist and Hindu thought has always maintained the same concept. These traditions view time as an “eternal moment.” The concept of “timelessness” is a major element of these ancient traditions, which appear in other cultures as well. What this suggests is that the ultimate time machine may be the human brain itself. Our place in time -- and our ability to move backwards and forward in time -- may be controlled by the fulcrum of the brain, and how it chooses to manipulate the flow of consciousness. So what is the ultimate method of time travel -- the astral travel, meditation and lucid dream practice of the mystically inclined -- or the electronic gadgets, wires, electromagnets, lasers and physical matters manipulators of the scientifically inclined? In this book, you’ll find pl

TimeStorm
Steve Harrison - 2014
Nearing its destination, the vessel miraculously survives a savage storm and limps into Sydney Harbour, where the convicts rebel and escape.But it is now the 21st century...TimeStorm is a thrilling epic adventure story of revenge, survival and honour set in a strange new world of unfamiliar technology and equally unfathomable social norms. In the literary footsteps of Hornblower comes Lieutenant Christopher 'Kit' Blaney, an old-fashioned hero, a man of honour, duty and principle, dragged literally into the 21st century. A great fan of the grand seafaring adventure fiction of CS Forester, Patrick O'Brien and Alexander Kent, and modern action thriller writers such as Lee Child, Steve Harrison combines several genres in his debut novel. The book was inspired by a replica 18th century sailing ship on Sydney Harbour and a question from Steve's brother, Tony: "What if that was a real convict ship?" TimeStorm explores that question in a fast-paced story as a group of desperate men from the 1700s clash in 21st century Sydney.

Wildwood Shadows
Scott McElhaney - 2014
Then in an instant, the storm stopped and Charlie discovered that his house was suddenly surrounded by a dense forest. Everything he knew about the world had suddenly changed. All he had left in the world was his home… well, that and the sinking feeling brought on by the knowledge that his father who disappeared just as abruptly two years prior used to dabble in time travel. When the Shawnee Indians show up at his house one day, it doesn’t take him long to realize that he had somehow managed to travel into the distant past – long before the Europeans colonized the United States. He also quickly learns that his father is living among the Shawnee. When his father realized that he’d accidentally dragged his son along on a journey that wasn’t intended for him, he was faced with only one option – Charlie needed to be sent back. The good thing was, his son had brought all the time travel equipment with him inside the house. The bad thing was that it ran on electricity. Cannibalizing the house might provide the way to an electric generator if he could also manage the creation of a water wheel on the river. But sending Charlie back would take some time, so that meant he’d have to learn to live among the Shawnee. He would also need to learn to survive without all the benefits he was accustomed to. And ultimately, he would need to decide if he really wanted to return home after all. Because falling in love with a woman who was already promised to another man could cause a lot of problems. Brought to you by the international bestselling author of the Mystic Saga, Dominion, and Ghosts of Ophidian.

An angry Norse god has just captured one of their mortals, refusing to tell them where he took Jacob Cameron, let alone when. As a seventeenth-century Highlander, being shuttled through time by a man calling himself Odin, might have been enough to crack Jake Cameron’s sanity. He’s kept his mind only through grit, gumption, and the single goal to somehow return to 1653 and his brothers. Landing in the freezing wilds of Montana in 1887, becoming the sheriff for a small mining community, Jake now needs to make a plan to travel back in time. However, when a wee fae-like woman walks into his life all his best-laid intentions becomes hazy. As a thief and liar, Meredith Peabody knows she has no chance with the new sheriff in town. Although, he melts her frozen heart with his protection and smoldering looks. Even if she did have a chance with him, how could she ever relate she’s not from this time? She might never get the chance because as soon as she realizes her winter’s wish—for Jake to stay close—the criminal he’s hunting turns the tables on him. But there’s no way in h-e-double hockey sticks Meredith will let that happen. The muses have their work cut out for this glimpse—chasing after a god, trying to find clues where and when their humans could be, and fitting in time for dress shopping has been murder. Gods, hopefully not literally!
