Time Travel Hard Science Fiction SF Action & Adventure

When an adventurer is trapped in the distant past, the only person who can save him is his own granddaughter. The problem? She hasn’t been born yet.

When John Hamman found the time machine, he didn’t know what adventures it would lead him on, and he could not predict the sequence of events that would strand him in the distant past. Can he shape a future that will one day save him from his own mistakes?

Jenny Hamman was a child when her grandfather showed her the dinosaur tooth he wore on a cord around his neck. That moment set the trajectory of her life. Jenny had no idea of the dangers she would one day face. Only she can save her grandfather. Her existence and that of everyone she loves hangs in the balance.
