Outcasts of Time

Jeff Mills

Sinopsis

The first year of college can be pretty demanding, especially for Simon Foxx, a socially inept photographer for the school’s newspaper, whose only real strength is the courage of curiosity; so, when he wakes up one autumn morning to discover the End of the World already in progress, what is he to do? Take pictures, of course! But when his curiosity—and his camera—rescue a remarkably bitter young woman from a fate worse than death, she allows him to tag along with her during a fantastic escape—into Earth’s past!
 
Can they survive each other as well as the challenges of worlds that ceased to exist long before their own lifetimes? Can they figure out what happened to the world of the future—and more importantly, find a way to fix it?
 
Armed only with wit, courage, a cell phone, and a sketch book, it is up to Simon and Kasey to accomplish the improbable with odds a little worse than impossible. But will Fate, or the Malevolent Universe, allow them to succeed? Or will it punish them for tinkering with the fabric of the cosmos and banish them to the very Edge of Time?

Neglected Authors The - North...

Edward Page Mitchell, W C...

Throughout the long centuries of human history is the want, and the need, to share information, to exchange ideas and for that knowledge and experience, for curiosity and learning, to be the basis of a civil society. 
In literature the ambition is much narrower.  In order to be known, to be popular, you had to be published.  And for that people had to know you existed and your ideas worth reading.  Obviously for most of humanity’s time people couldn’t read and texts couldn’t be published in any great number. 
In the 15th Century Gutenberg’s printing press began the revolution to address the second and by the 19th century had gathered pace with startling speed and mass distribution.  Education for the many was brought in to help people understand more of their world and, with new skills, how to have a better place within it.  Now, if the powers that owned the presses and means of distribution agreed an audience would now be able to avail themselves of your ideas, your printed words.  
In this volume we offer up a small selection of talents from the literary landscape of the North American male author whose time has now come again.
