Fifty-One

The past is easy to manipulate. The heart is not.

Jacob Wesson is a timecop from the future, sent back to World War Two London to stop the assassination of Winston Churchill. The assignment plays out with apparent ease, but the jump home goes wrong, stranding Jake in war-ravaged 1944. Jake’s team, including his long-time girlfriend, is desperate to trace him before something else goes wrong.

Stuck in the past, Jake must pull from his training and blend in. He clings to the one familiar face he can find, Amy Jenkins, a war widow whose life he saved during the assignment. Drawn to each other by their loneliness and thrown together amid the terror of war, Jake and Amy look to a future together.

But Jake’s future cannot let him go. And when his bosses finally find him in 1944, Jake faces a terrible choice: risk unraveling the modern world, or let Amy die.

“Better plotted than Connie Willis” – Interzone magazine

“Stylish tale. The film noir prose and slow-mounting tension are reminiscent of a detective mystery. In spite of its realistic depiction of wartime London, it is bona fide escapism…great for fans of sci-fi genre-blends.” – Shoreline of Infinity magazine.
