Time and Time Again: A Swade Hammond Novel

by Max Uhls, Erin Poettker (Editor), Janet Uhls (Photographer)

Growing up in the early 1970s was tough for Swade and his friends. Grade school was full of typical challenges, from strict rules to navigating relationships. But for these boys, those were the least of their worries. Sherlock suffered from a mental disorder due to a traumatic brain injury at the tender age of ten. Farley and his parents faced relentless hostilities from a handful of townsmen due to their race, causing them to flee to another state. Hammer, Pick's twin brother, tragically drowned before the start of eighth grade. Pick grew old trying to find answers to his twin’s death at the bottom of a whiskey bottle. Swade’s father was imprisoned for a crime he did not commit and died behind bars.

Fifty years later, as a retired scientist, Swade serendipitously stumbles upon a scientific breakthrough. Using ancient documents and a mysterious rock he collected as a youth, combined with his expertise in math and science, Swade uncovers a way to travel through time. With the help of his beloved wife and their computer-geek niece, they embark on a journey to alter history and create a better future for everyone. But Swade will need more than time travel to save his dad and bring the real culprit to justice. And time is of the essence.

This thrilling tale will captivate fans of time travel and coming-of-age stories. If you enjoyed books like "The Time Traveler's Wife" or "A Wrinkle in Time," you won't want to miss this one.
