On Friday 13th April 2029 it slammed into the Sahara desert, annihilating everything within a hundred miles. But that was only the beginning. A huge amount of dust was thrown up into the atmosphere blocking out the sun across the planet. Soon temperatures began to fall. As weather conditions worsen, the residents of the small market town need to make a decision – flee south to escape the weather, or wait for the worst to pass. Choosing to stay, D.I. Hannah Benson soon has more to worry about than keeping law and order. With power supplies failing and food scarce, it soon becomes a battle just to stay alive. And there are some that see it not as a crisis, but as an opportunity. For those travelling to escape the deepening winter, plans are thwarted as the transport system grinds to a halt. Can the possible discovery of a new Time Bubble provide a way out? Set ten years after the main events of The Time Bubble, this sequel takes place in parallel with events in the later stages of that story. less

But things get far worse for Josh Gardner when he can’t even find his way back to his own universe. When his ex-girlfriend, Lauren, starts having recurring nightmares about a strange alternate reality in which she was murdered, Josh becomes interested in proving the existence of other universes. Finding a focal point in the past from which thousands of new universes seem to stem, he travels back in time to find out how they were created. Unfortunately he ends up causing the very event that he went back to investigate. Cast adrift in the multiverse, he no longer has any control over where and when he will end up. With each jump sending him further and further back in time, he finds himself lurching from one alternate universe to another, some similar to his own, others drastically different. He has but one hope – to find an alter ego in another universe to help him find his way home. But in worlds ravaged by wars and diseases, in many cases it becomes a battle just to stay alive. This story is the fourth instalment of The Time Bubble series. Three spin-off novels are also available: My Tomorrow, Your Yesterday, Midlife Crisis and Rock Bottom.
