FLYING MINI-VANS. CYBERNETIC SEDUCTRESSES. HEAVILY ARMED MYSTERY MEN IN BLACK TRENCH COATS, FEDORAS, AND MIRROR SHADES. THE MOST KICKASS COLLECTION OF SILVER AGE SUPERHERO COMIC BOOKS IN THE KNOWN UNIVERSE. When a lonely, down and out, just barely holding on, middle aged geek/nerd is handed a wrist watch that lets him travel through time, you'd better believe whackiness ensues. As Jim stumbles and fumbles his way through the decades, bouncing from past to future and back again like a pony-tailed cue ball, he cannot believe the chaos that quickly comes to swirl around him like some temporo-spatial cyclone of epic proportions. But then shit really gets real when two more heavily armed time travelers show up wearing watches just like his, with gigantic guns and, apparently, a license to kill... HIM. Happy Little Jim, who never did nothin' to nobody. But, wait! There's more -- in fact, there is an entire global conspiracy reaching from the future into the past, from Mars to Earth, from the impersonal and merciless mercenary legions of Time Watch to Jim himself... and its whole purpose is nothing less but the destruction of the entire human race! So now, Jim is going to have to quit raiding newsstands and drugstores in 1963 for new mint superhero comics right off the spinner racks, and start figuring out how to fight back. And it's not just his ass on the line... it's the existence of the entire planet Earth! No pressure or anything. With a sensuous sentient computer from the future as his only ally (or, possibly, two of them, it gets confusing), Jim sets out to infiltrate Time Watch and avenge the guy who gave him his time watch in the first place -- plus, who knows, bring down an interplanetary plot to turn Earth into a highly polished celestial disco ball. A WHAMMER JAMMER OF A TIME TRAVEL NOVEL. THE CONSTANTLY ACCELERATING PLOT PULLS YOU ALONG AT HYPERSPEED FROM THE HORRORS OF THE FAIRLY RECENT PAST TO THE TERRORS OF THE TOO NEAR AND FAR TOO PLAUSIBLE FUTURE. TAKE A DEEP BREATH BEFORE YOU OPEN THE COVER AND DIVE IN; YOU MAY NOT REMEMBER TO TAKE ANOTHER UNTIL YOU FINISH READING.
