Synopsis

Time. What is time? Why is time? How is time? When is time? Also, what is time? Important questions one and all, but for Captain Space Hardcore- intergalactic adventurer, full-time hero, raconteur, accomplished oboist- there is a more pressing question: how do you fight a time travelling madman who wants to end your life? How does one fight a man who can bend time as easily as a chimpanzee bends a hose (i.e- quite easily)? How can you stop a man who can transport back to find you as an infant, then fire you into the sun? How to best a villain who can wipe out your great grandfather? Or worse, your great-grandfather’s great-grandfather?! If you’re Captain Space Hardcore then the answer is simple: punch him in his big smartarse face. But the journey of face-punchery will be a treacherous one. From the Ripper-addled streets of Victorian London, to the high-tech super prison deep in the heart of the future, the quest for Professor Tempus will rip the Captain and his trusty manservant Ebenezer Funkworthy through all of the time/space continuum and beyond in a thrilling adventure that critics are already calling “not fit for review. Please stop emailing us.” So if you have the wit and the fortitude to come on this journey of temporal twisting tension and clock-blocking thrills then waste not a second longer, dear reader, and dive into the time travelling trousers of Professor Tempus! "A towering achievement. Ronson is at the height of his powers and destined for great things. History will remember the name Michael Ronson." -Michael Ronson, unprompted

À propos de l'auteur

Genius. Voice of a generation. Pioneer. Innovator. Renovator. Forklift truck operator. Can a man have so many jobs while still drawing an unemployment allowance from the government? One man can; Michael Ronson, the author who, in his own words “Bestrides the narrow worlds of science fiction and werewolf-based-erotica like a colossus.” Born at a very early age, Ronson spent his formative years being a child but always knew he was destined for something greater. However, when that didn’t work out due to a career-ending groin strain, he turned to writing. Science Fiction called to Ronson, like a child in a burning building, but unlike that child Ronson would heed the call and begin a career as an SF author after he was fired from the fire brigade. After all, Ronson was always looking up towards the stars or, when indoors, up towards ceilings which are almost as good. Ronson has a distinctive, striking, and original voice and when not singing karaoke he tries to write as best he can. Having just penned the second in his ongoing series of the Captain Space Hardcore adventures, he is splitting his time between the writing of a third in that series and a set of religious texts and doctrines upon which he is planning to found a radical and highly original new church.
