He's waited patiently for people to develop the technology he needs to build a way back to the stars.At the dawn of the twenty-first century, technology has advanced enough for Jake to make use of it. Lately, though, he's been aware that he is being watched by people who know what he is and want what he knows. Covert government operatives have their eyes on Jake, looking to exploit his highly advanced technical prowess.He's let secrets slip before, and witnessed ensuing disaster. Now his greatest concern is keeping dangerous knowledge from being misused. His latest endeavor; Jake needs to build a time machine. But that sort of knowledge, in the hands of the unscrupulous, could be cataclysmic.He shares his unique and often fanciful observations of history and human nature with a few close friends that help him build a living computer, one that is capable of manipulating space/time and providing Jake a way home.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

David DeRosa lives in New Jersey with his wife, Cindy, and a cat named Sly. He enjoys writing songs, singing with friends, sailing on the Barnegat Bay, and breakfast at Sandy's Cozy Corner. He owns a small sailboat named Saw Dust and hopes, one day, to be able to afford it. He says, "It's the nature of boating and my pathetic addiction to having fun toys." His wife supports his addiction, though, not all of his choices in toys. Much of his time is spent working to pay for those choices. The writing, he doesn't consider to be work. "It's more of a passion," he says. "Here's to hoping the readers enjoy." David will continue to write for the pure enjoyment of it. Whether he should be considered a writer, he says, "That remains to be seen. Maybe we should just let the readers decide."
