Publisher Description
A dead man. Three universes. One increasingly bad day.
When Tom Two-Dan $mith (sic) wakes after a catastrophic accident, he discovers something rather inconvenient: he's lost several years of his life, his body… and an entire universe.
Now a reluctant commuter across dimensions, Dan is thrust into a dizzying universe of alternate history and a strange future as he searches for the woman he loves. Along the way he encounters a world where the Second World War ended more badly that anyone could imagine, leaving London twisted into something familiar but unrecognizable. His beloved Scotland has finally gone its own way and somewhere else, the long-lost truth about Atlantis waits to be uncovered.
And if that weren't enough, Tom's new routine now includes reporting for duty at a rather unusual stud farm for humans—while being assisted (and occasionally threatened) by an over-enthusiastic gynoid with a taste for action.
Across these realities, a shadowy Mob controls society with drugs laced into the water supply and even the newsprint itself. Speak out, and people simply vanish.
But rebellion is brewing. A heavily armed American liberation force arrives, eager to test its newest toys—very nearly triggering another Armageddon. Salvation, improbably enough, may come from an ordinary man, a stubborn streak, and perhaps a well-timed pint of ale.
There's just one small complication.
When you jump between universes, there's always a chance you might meet… yourself. That's strictly forbidden, of course.
Which is exactly why it happens—at the precise moment the entire fabric of space and time begins to unravel.
