A captivating fusion of Doctor Who, Harry Potter and His Dark Materials.
"The novel moves at a fantastic pace, and the author has seamlessly blended real historical moments with his own time travel mythology…" ★★★★★
One step away from prison, 17-year-old Joshua Jones steals a WW2 medal from the house of a local eccentric, the Colonel, and finds himself transported back to Hitler's war rooms in 1944.
Josh discovers that the Colonel belongs to a mysterious Order dedicated to protecting history from the forces of chaos. With the help of a feisty librarian, Caitlin, Josh begins an epic adventure into a fantastical world of alternate histories, time guilds and the nightmarish creatures of the maelstrom.
But Josh can’t escape his old life, and when a mission goes horribly wrong, he is forced to face the ugly secrets of his broken past… and the overwhelming temptation to make a forbidden alteration. Caught between a magical world of infinite possibilities and a life of crime, will he use his new-found powers to alter his own timeline?

Reviews have said:
"...if you're a fan of British sci-fi (like me) then you're in for a real treat with a very slight shade of Doctor Who (without the Aliens), but with secret societies, a healthy dose of science, quantum gadgets and conspiracies that weave in real historical figures…"★★★★★
"I love that it is intertwined with real historical events …" ★★★★★
"An interesting mix of history and sci-fi that takes you on a journey into another world…" ★★★★★
"Great stuff. Move over, Mrs Rowling, you have competition. " ★★★★★
