Thank you for reading. This is a work in progress. Any comments, feedback and criticism is well appreciated!
A map of the area is included in Part 2
For a moment, let's just imagine a world where timetravel is possible, but strictly bounded by the laws of physics. One of these laws is the so-called principle of self-consistency. The principle dictates a zero probability of past-changing events that give lead to a state of paradox.
Just before Reyle is offered the promotion of a lifetime, he meets a man who claims to be from the future. Is this all just a silly coincidence or is there more to his confusing story?

If you met yourself would it really be you... ...or another person very like you? Book 1 of the epic series Tales of Strangeness and Charm.

That is precisely what happens to Thomas John, a widowed university professor in rain-soaked England. Lured through the door by blue skies and white sand beaches, Thomas has no idea that his newfound paradise will be blown up on Tuesday, or that it will be up to him to stop it, wearing little more than a bathrobe and fuzzy ducky slippers. -------- A humorous sci-fi novel inspired by the works of Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett.
