Binalot ng pagtataka at pag-aalinlangan si Rhyme nang magkamalay siya sa isang di-makilalang silid. Ang pakiramdam na iyon ay napalitan ng takot nang ma-realize niya na dinukot siya. Hindi pa siya nakakabawi sa natuklasan nang makasalubong niya ng tingin ang lalaking nakamasid sa kanya at walang gatol na inamin nito ang ginawang pagdukot. Hindi niya gustong maniwala. Why? He is too good-looking para maging abductor niya. Ngunit naragdagan ang kalituhan niya nang tawagin siya ng lalaki sa ibang pangalan. Hindi kaya mistaken identity ang nangyari? ©2014

Age of Aether -- A Steampunk Adventure-Romance Novella. When Capt. Ben Bantam is tapped to go back in time in order to retrieve a cure for the vicious Shadow plague, he is shocked to arrive in an alternate 1944 where electricity doesn't exist. Instead, a parallel past has mysteriously arisen -- complete with parasols, stunningly luxurious Aerotels, hydrologic computing, Helux-powered 'cloud growlers' and a space elevator-based moon race with Germany. And of course, there is the lovely Dr. Rachelle Archenstone ... But when Hitler is made Chancellor in this world and the American space program sabotaged, Bantam is the only one who realizes the true depth of the danger posed by the newly formed Nazi party. Together with Rachelle, he races to save this America while seeking an explanation to the mystery of this alternate past -- and with it, a way to return to his own world with the Shadow's cure. But when it comes down to a choice between his lovely Rachelle and a thousand years of Nazi rule, what will he do? Thrill to a tale of a Yesterday that never was ... And yet was!
