You're facing certain death in the trenches of the Somme. But someone offers you a way out. The catch? It means being flung back far into ancient history on a desperate mission to save the future.
What would you do?
On the eve of the First World War as the storm clouds loom over Oxford, Nathan Bishop, a man with a keen mind for science, has been forced to take on an electrician’s job, converting the colleges over from gas to electric light. Nathan's long-cherished dream is to one day work on experimental projects that test the boundaries of logic and reason. So when the mysterious Professor Felix Schneider offers him the opportunity of a lifetime, it looks like all his dreams have come true.
However, what’s the secret behind Felix’s research in his private lab, and is it a threat to national security? Everything hints at something incredible, but the truth will be beyond even his wildest expectations and will challenge everything Nathan thought he ever knew about time.
As the rapidly moving events of 1914 play out and his life and those he deeply cares about are torn apart by the coming war as the country calls upon its able-bodied men like him to fight. But to do so, will mean turning his back on Clara, the woman who has always believed and supported his ambitions to be a scientist one day.
But Nathan will be given an incredible opportunity that will determine not only the fate of those closest to him but ultimately of the galaxy too. Will he be able to find the courage to fully embrace his dreams, even if they might cost him the lives of himself and his friends?
Inflection Point is part of the Multiverse Chronicles, an epic series of interlinked stories that includes the Earth Song series, and the Fractured Light and Cloud Riders trilogies, that follow humanity’s struggle to survive across parallel universes.
Author Note: For my friends across the Pond please note that this book is written in UK English and uses single quotes rather than double ones. Yes, Brits are weird like that!
Genre: Science Fiction
