by John B. Rosenman

What comes first, love or duty? When Diana, a 24th century Supervisor of time travel, learns that Dero is taking unauthorized trips into the past, she has a dilemma. She knows she should arrest him, but she loves him too much. Obsessed, she follows him repeatedly into the distant past to save him from the machine-like killers that police the timelines.


One day he goes too far, threatening the delicate fabric of history itself, and Diana must make a terrible decision.

Time Travelling with a Twist

"I peer through a deep-grimed window at rows of clocks. Large pendulum clocks, tiny brass clocks, emblems of time and my own futility. A water clock turns seemingly in perpetual motion. Water is the stream of time, flowing forever and sweeping us all along with it, except when we move backward into the past."

Diana is in love with Dero. When he takes forays into the past, she neither reports him nor officially reprimands him. She follows him to keep him safe from the Killers. The Killers, 'Droids who police the timelines, will eradicate Dero, and Diana as well if they catch her in his vicinity.

When historic events take unexpected turns, Diana knows it's "time" to do the right thing. But what is right and what is wrong?

John Rosenman very effectively demonstrates his versatility as an author with Killers. It's an excellent story, as well as a great history lesson for young and old alike.

Mr. Rosenman is also the author of the Inspector of the Cross series. The three books in the series are wonderful science fiction/fantasy stories for adults, and remain my favorites of his work.

Killers by John Rosenman, Kindle Unlimited. Science fiction, time travel. What do you do when you’re a supervisor of the timelines and the man you love travels into the past against the rules? When you go after him, do you kill him or what? The problem gets even more complicated when Diana encounters illustrious historical figures such as Mozart and Socrates.
