My book talk<\/strong>: Their time-travel suits can take them back to film important world events, but two science genius buddies find it impossible to remain mere bystanders in history.<\/p>\n

Corbin’s marriage and family both lost out to his obsession with inventing the chronosuits, while Danny’s womanizing leaves few who’ll weep if he doesn’t make it back from time-traveling.<\/p>\n

Transmitting live video of landmark historical events proves the chronosuits’ worth so when Corbin’s signal is lost, his best friend jumps back to rescue him in 11th century Samarkand, right into a skirmish between motorized forces!<\/p>\n

Without the cameras on them, Drs. Quinn and Reilly have some fun with places and persons, knowing that they can time-walk away when the going gets rough. But they have left behind family issues – and bosses waiting for marketable history footage – in their own present-day.<\/p>\n

Will these smart guys use their time-suits to repair the broken relationships in their personal pasts or get greedy helping themselves to the riches and experiences of every civilization before now?<\/p>\n

Wait, what about the consequences of changing history – for everyone stuck in the present!?<\/p>\n

The first four issues of the epic webcomic are published together now to give the full arc of this time-hopping buddy adventure in a single volume.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
