A Man Out of Time
Bill Walker
All he wanted was a chance to prove himself as a journalist. He didn’t bargain for losing the love of his life.
It is Halloween, 1959, and Josh Hardin wants nothing more than to be an investigative reporter. Instead, he spends his days writing obituaries for The Village Voice. But today his editor gives him two tickets and an opportunity to review the Back to the Future Rock and Roll Revue, a one-night show at the old Village Theatre. Josh jumps at the chance and takes along his aspiring photographer girlfriend, Audrey Whitman.
The show is nothing short of astounding. Bands from the future: The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Black Sabbath, and Green Day—music that blows their eardrums and their minds, as Josh’s girlfriend clicks off six rolls of dynamite. And in a freak accident on their way home, she is run down and killed by a hit and run driver. Overcome with grief, Josh is driven to find out who put on this anachronistic show and why Audrey had to die for it. His investigation leads him to The Time Tunnel project, where he’s given the chance of a lifetime—to go back and save Audrey from a gruesome death—and bring back those six rolls of film.
Will Josh be able to get the film, save Audrey, and put time back to rights, or will the clock run out on him?
A MAN OUT OF TIME is a tense, standalone novella. If you like taut suspense, head-banging rock and roll, and the mysteries of the fourth dimension, then you’ll love Bill Walker’s gripping tale.
