Dana, a modern black woman, is celebrating her twenty-sixth birthday with her new husband when she is snatched abruptly from her home in California and transported to the antebellum South. Rufus, the white son of a plantation owner, is drowning, and Dana has been summoned to save him. Dana is drawn back repeatedly through time to the slave quarters, and each time the stay grows longer, more arduous, and more dangerous until it is uncertain whether or not Dana's life will end, long before it has a chance to begin.
A most untraditional love story, this is the celebrated tale of Henry DeTamble, a dashing, adventuresome librarian who inadvertently travels through time, and Clare Abshire, an artist whose life takes a natural sequential course. But just as they are about to debut their creation, one of them suffers a breakdown, putting the whole project—and future of time travel—in jeopardy.
To protect their invention, one member is exiled from the team—erasing her contributions from history. Fifty years later, time travel is a big business. Twenty-something Ruby Rebello knows her beloved grandmother, Granny Bee, was one of the pioneers, though no one will tell her more. But when Bee receives a mysterious newspaper clipping from the future reporting the murder of an unidentified woman, Ruby becomes obsessed: could it be Bee?
Who would want her dead? And most importantly of all: can her murder be stopped? Claudia's geeky boyfriend Adam has just invented a time machine. No, really-he has. She doesn't believe it either until Adam provides her with definitive proof that he does, in fact, have a functioning time travel device sitting in the living room of his Manhattan brownstone. But instead of getting ready to accept the Nobel Prize, Adam has very different plans for his groundbreaking invention.
He wants Claudia to use the machine to travel back in time and stop the accident that landed him in a wheelchair over a decade ago, and prevent the trajectory of events that he believes ruined his life. When Claudia reluctantly agrees to become the first human time traveler, she knows she's making a big gamble.
If she succeeds, she could have the happy ending with commitment-phobic Adam that she's always dreamed of. But if she fails, it could mean the end of the universe as she knows it. When physicist Michael Shelborne mysteriously vanishes, his son Shel discovers that he had constructed a time travel device. Fearing his father may be stranded in time—or worse—Shel enlists the aid of linguist Dave MacElroy to accompany him on the rescue mission.
Their journey through history takes them from the enlightenment of Renaissance Italy through the American Wild West to the civil-right upheavals of the 20th century. Along the way, they encounter a diverse cast of historical greats, sometimes in unexpected situations. Yet the elder Shelborne remains elusive. And then Shel violates his agreement with Dave not to visit the future. There he makes a devastating discovery that sends him fleeing back through the ages, and changes his life forever.
Annie Lockwood is testing Time. Now she is asking Time to take her to the year , when Strat is in Cairo.

Meanwhile, in , Strat is photographing the same pyramids that Annie walks among. Powerless, Annie and Strat both look to Time.
Can its force, which brought them together once, help them find each other again? Smith in this wildly compulsive debut thriller about a couple whose fifteen-year marriage has finally gotten too interesting Our love story is simple. I met a gorgeous woman.
We fell in love. We had kids. We moved to the suburbs. We told each other our biggest dreams, and our darkest secrets. And then we got bored. We look like a normal couple. We're your neighbors, the parents of your kid's friend, the acquaintances you keep meaning to get dinner with.
We all have our secrets to keeping a marriage alive. Ours just happens to be getting away with murder. Alan Grant, Scotland Yard Inspector is feeling bored while confined to bed in hospital with a broken leg. Marta Hallard, an actress friend of his, suggests that he should amuse himself by researching a historical mystery. According to the Telegraph , Titor rather harshly condemned everyone in the message board by saying, 'Perhaps I should let you all in on a little secret.
No one likes you in the future. This time period is looked at as being full of lazy, self-centered, civically ignorant sheep. If Titor's story were true, it'd be hard to blame him for the hard feelings, considering that his entire world seems to have gone to hell by But oddly enough, despite the fact that Titor noticeably disliked almost everyone he talked to online, this supposed time traveler did invite his followers to come to the future with him.
Titor warned that the trip would be a lengthy process involving multiple long drives across the country, since the time displacement unit had to be loaded into a vehicle, a la Back to the Future. If anyone did go with him, well, we never heard about it.
Titor's closest connection was a woman named Pamela Moore, who shared a warm relationship with him, almost as if she already knew him from outside the boards. Moore has said that Titor left her with a so-called 'secret song,' which she could use to verify his identity in case any impostors came along in the future.
Moore later explained to Sauve that the reason she was so immediately interested in talking to Titor was that back in , she'd experienced a vivid dream about him. In this dream, she had rode in a car with a time traveling man whose answers were identical to the ones Titor later gave in the message board. Moore — whom Titor once referred to as his 'dear friend' — has always maintained her firm belief in Titor's story. The most intriguing wrinkle in Moore's story is her mysterious relationship with a woman named Kay Titor, who claims to be John Titor's mother.
Kay once sent Moore a personal letter, along with a package that Kay claims John meant for Moore to have. However, it's worth noting that all correspondence between both parties has been carefully monitored and controlled by Larry Haber, who is Kay Titor's lawyer. If he was real, John Titor didn't stay in our time for long.
After looking around, meeting the past versions of his family, and answering every question that his online following wanted to ask him, he said adios to the early s. His final post appeared on March 24, To summarize why other time travelers didn't make a point to speak to denizens of the past, Titor wrote, 'Quite frankly, you all scare the Hell out of me and I'm sure other temporal drivers would feel the same.
This post, which can still be seen on Stranger Dimensions, is also a lengthy speech where Titor explains what he believes is so terrible about the humans of present-day Earth, angrily stating his belief that people in the modern era needed to do a better job taking care of each other. In the post, Titor rails against the way people ignore the sick and homeless, as well as expressing his disbelief that people so callously drive right by anyone broken down on the side of the road, never asking if that person needs help.
Finally, John left his followers with a parting line that could have been a movie quote: 'Bring a gas can with you when the car dies on the side of the road. While most people doubt that John Titor was really a time traveler, there are those who still believe, and he may even have come back a few times.
The most notable example of this occurred on November 30, , when a user calling himself John Titor issued a terrifying warning on CNN's iReport feature, frantically warning the United States not to get into a war with North Korea.
Titor explained that the conflict would be a horrendous mistake, which would result in half of the U. Was this the same John Titor as before? Maybe just an impostor using the name for dramatic effect? Or perhaps, was it The time traveler's friend, Pamela Moore, told Mike Sauve that our current timeline could be invaded by John Titors from various alternate timelines, all of whom might come from different post-apocalyptic futures.
For a glimpse at how confusing all these overlapping timelines can get, try watching one of the later Terminator movies. Most observers believe the John Titor saga was a hoax, but no one has ever claimed the bragging rights for it. Nonetheless, interested parties have dug for answers.
Voyager 's professional sleuths peeked into a for-profit LLC called the John Titor Foundation, which sells self-published collections of Titor's posts.
