Into The Nexus - Craig Robertson

. .

Sommaire:
Matthew Dunsratty has had quite the lives -- more than he can even count. But after one death-defying adventure after another, he's ready for some well deserved downtime. So he's gone to a hot beach in Mareta, a sleepy fishing village in southern Portugal. The year is 1964. He hopes only to flirt with bikinied tourists and drink cold Sagres beers.

But two things seem to follow Matt whenever and whenever he goes. A chance to help some one in need and trouble-trouble-trouble. In Mareta he discovers that a local crazy lady has a most compelling backstory. Matt decides to change the past and heal her pain. Easier said than done. Matt's attempts to right-this-wrong are, um ... complicated. The most evil, hateful time diver ever is trying his level best to kill Matt. How bad an apple is Morfran Gethin? He imported the black plague not once but twice to Western Europe, he started the Great Fire of London in 1666, and now he wants to explode a hydrogen bomb over New York. Yeah, he's nothing but bad news on the doorstep.

Fortunately, Matt has learned how to run. he bobs and weaves to Australia in 1950, Portugal in 1964 and 2070, Montana in 1977, Korea in the present day, and California in 2222. Oh, and to a Moon base in 2080. But still Morfran is on his tail. The fiend is relentless and merciless. Matt slowly realizes that there may be only one safe place for him to rest. The Nexus of Time. That's the mysterious realm where time divers can visit in any time they want, but they can never leave. The Nexus dwellers will keep the time travelers safe ... forever. A fate worse than death? You make that call. But for Matt and his ilk, it's a miserable eternity.

Can Matt stay one step ahead of Morfran long enough to restore a woman's sanity? Will he be able to save a child with a terminal illness? What if the only way to achieve these goals is to ask his future self to make the ultimate sacrifice? And will he ever get back to that beach and all those bikinis? The only way to find out is to read Into The Nexus. The good news is that it's a great story....
