Anon Time

by Craig Robertson

What if you weren't who you thought you were, what others saw you to be? What if the structure of time depended on you to keep the entire universe intact? What if unseen forces, both good and evil, surrounded you, effecting your life in way's you could not begin to imagine? This might just describe Mark De Martel, a work-a-day advertising agent in Los Angeles. Is Mark a powerful warrior, using skills such as the manipulation of gravity to save all of existence?
Anon Time follows the possible transformation of the mundane Mark into to the powerful Anon. Why would such a dual personality be necessary? Is our hero destine to face his mortal enemy - our mortal enemy? Learn in Anon Time how random great fortune can be. Would such a man even be equal to the physical, emotional, and spiritual challenges of the fate he has chosen?
Anon Time is truly unique thriller combining scientific, philosophical, and spiritual underpinnings woven together to form a tapestry which will keep you guessing up until the last sentence! The tale combines aliens, angels, average people, mindless evil, and high adventure – who doesn't like that? Ultimately it comes down to this - what would it be like if your entire life was merely a cover-story for some greater purpose?

About the author

I claim three great accomplishments in my life: my family, my medical career, and my writing.  They are in, I am certain, their proper order.  My family, includes my perfect wife Karen, my wonderful children (adults now) Chris and Kim, my sweet grandson Jonathan. And now you! From family, I draw strength, love, and meaning.  What humbling gifts.  I am almost as proud of my incredible career as a physician (no, not that I'm incredible, it's that the journey was).  I'm an Internest and have worked in ER's, hospitals, clinics, homes, and most places between.  What a rush!  When I say it's an honor and a privilege to be a doctor, I truly mean it.  My writings, provide me a powerful creative outlet and so warms my soul directly.  In my wilder dreams, I hope my writing is of sufficient merit and so benefit you too in an impactful manner. 
Know me by what I love: Dickens, Orwell, and Bradbury; Milton, Donne, and Blake; Coltrane, Davis, and Desmond; Picasso, Michelangelo, and Renoir; Astronomy, Biology and Geology; Doctor Who, Star Trek (original TV), and Doctor Who (yeah, I love it that much); Avedon, Doisneau, and Arbus; burger and fries, coc au vin, and pizza-pizza-pizza.  Have I left anything important to me out?  Just one, the most important: God.  I'm an ex-Catholic wondering if churches are device of men and are necessary at all.  More importantly, I wish I spent more time seeing His wonder in the world (I'm not evangelizing, just passing along info; this is a bio, n'est pas?).  Oh, and this has never come up, but there used to be a series of magazine ads where sexy looking people were asked a series of questions about what they liked.  A standard query was: "What's your favorite word?"  So, this really stuck with me (I know, I need to get out more, don't I) and now I can tell someone, you, my favorite word.  Oneself!  I love it.  It means 'on your own' right, but it also refers to the elf you own!  Brilliant word.  Now, where'd I put that elf.......

[Mandy Walkden-Brown · Rating 4 out of 5]

A really unique sci-fi story with some great characters, an unusual plot, plenty of action and a smattering of humour.
Really imaginative and totally enjoyable.
There are however quite a few typos which were a touch distracting at times.
I will be looking for more by this author.
