What happens when time lines and family lines converge, and history and sanity are preserved only to the extent that one is willing to embrace madness? On the eve of the new millennium, John Samuel Weston, owner of a small biotech engineering firm in Haddonfield, New Jersey, is about to find out. Centered around the historic Greenwich Tea Burning of December 22, 1774, the narrative follows two parallel story lines over the same six-month period leading up to the events of December 22nd: one set in colonial New Jersey, 1774; the other in modern day Jersey, 1999. The story opens in 1999 as our hero, John Samuel Weston, wakes up in the psych ward of Our Lady of Lourdes hospital (Camden, NJ) recovering from an apparent psychotic break following a Labor Day weekend trip to Greenwich, Cumberland County, NJ. His friend and business partner, Bob Fenwick, experienced a similar breakdown on a July 4th fishing trip to Greenwich, which is what prompted John to go to Greenwich to investigate. In time, John comes to suspect that his recurring dreams and visions of 18th century time travel were real, and uncovers a common link between family lines, a certain variety of greenhead fly found only in this area, and a peculiar form of mental illness affecting this back-bay region since 1774--the so-called curse of Greenwich. Beyond historical science fiction, Greenwich a story of love and passion, a tale of family lines past and present, genetic engineering gone awry and the supernatural, as our modern day hero (John Samuel Weston) embarks on a mission of time travel to lift the curse that has rendered present day Greenwich a virtual ghost town. John's quest becomes a burning obsession and race with time as he employs his biotech engineering skills and the unwitting aid of professional associates to go back and set things right before the window of opportunity forever closes with the passing millennium.…

GREENWICH: THE FINAL PROJECT is a historical, science fiction time travel mystery set against the backdrop of fast-moving events leading up to the Greenwich Tea Burning of December 22, 1774, on the eve of the American Revolution. It is largely a tale, both then and now, of two small South Jersey towns: Greenwich, Cumberland County; and Haddonfield, Camden County.
The story opens in 1999 as our hero, John Samuel Weston, owner of a small biotech engineering firm in Haddonfield, NJ, wakes up in the psych ward of a local hospital recovering from an apparent psychotic break following a Labor Day weekend trip to Greenwich, Cumberland County, NJ. His close friend and business partner, Bob Fenwick, experienced a similar “breakdown” on a July 4th fishing trip to Greenwich, which is what prompted John to go to Greenwich to investigate. In time, John comes to suspect that his recurring dreams and visions of 18th-century time travel are real.
Beyond historical science fiction, GREENWICH is a mixed genre story of love and passion, a tale of family lines past and present, genetic engineering gone awry and the supernatural, as John embarks on a mission of time travel to try and “lift the curse” that has rendered present-day Greenwich a virtual ghost town.
“In his debut novel, Goldhahn swings for the fences, combining complex historical and scientific themes…A layered, challenging fusion of genres.” — Kirkus Reviews
“This book…has a unique way of combining well-researched historical content, along with a serious and scientific plot line about genetics. The author displayed an intimate knowledge of South Jersey, both geographically and historically.”— Donald Piccoli, 5-star Amazon Review
“. . . I was unable to put it down for very long and finished reading it in three days. I like historical novels as well as mysteries and science fiction. This book has a combination of all three.” — Julie Fournier, 4-star Amazon review.
“I truly was impressed with the quality of literary prose and overall professionalism, from the cover art, to the editing and the formatting.” — (5 stars) Candice Waller Senior Reviewer – Indie Book Reviewers
“Greenwich: The Final Project” . . . is a brilliantly and powerfully-written tale of epic proportions, both in scope and breadth of topics and even crosses genre lines in a way I’ve never seen . . . To say this is totally unlike anything I’ve ever read before would be an understatement. Highly recommend. — (5 stars) Cara Patterson—Indie Book Reviewers
“Greenwich: The Final Project” . . . is hands down one of the most riveting and well-crafted books I’ve read in quite a while. . . Goldhahn’s descriptions and attention to detailing on all fronts seemed very authentic – we truly feel we are experiencing life in pre-war colonial 1700’s. . . So this is absolutely amazing for a debut novel! Would love to read more from him in the future. — (5 stars). Danielle Hudson, Senior Reviewer—Indie Book Reviewers.
