Splinter Effect

DEBUT In his over-20-year career as a chrono-archaeologist, Dr. Robert “Rabbit” Ward has only experienced two failures in his mission to loot history via time travel. The first broke his heart, cost him his dearest friendship, and left behind a religious icon and a terrible tyrant. His second looks like it will end his career in abject failure if not infamy—unless he takes a desperate gamble in one dangerous, unethical, and outright illegal move to fix all of his regrets in one fell swoop at changing history. The thrill-a-minute chase scenes in pursuit of priceless artifacts will recall the breakneck pace of National Treasure and The Da Vinci Code, while the time-travel history and adventure will enthrall readers of Jodi Taylor’s “Chronicles of St. Mary’s” series. Fans of Kage Baker’s classic “Company” novels may have finally found a worthy successor.
