The Time Capsule

by Daniel Logan

Four pre-adolescent boys growing up in Carmel, Indiana, in the 1950s bury a time capsule and vow to reunite and unearth the treasure in the year 2000.

When they do, they are amazed at what they find and at how their lives have been influenced by the items contained in the long-buried capsule.

Inspired by true events, 'The Time Capsule' represents Daniel Logan's first venture into a new writing genre, one that he calls a "creative memoir."

24 pages, Paperback

About the author

Logan lives in Houston, America's "Space City" and home of the Johnson Space Center.

He is a graduate of Purdue University, known as the "Cradle of Astronauts" because of its many alumni, including Neil Armstrong, who became astronauts.

Whether at the controls of the legendary Spruce Goose or his own aircraft, Logan is fascinated by aviation and space.

The Martian Enigma is about the first NASA crew to land on Mars. They encounter an enigma that threatens their safe return. The story's conflict is about the use of robotics or human crews for deep space exploration.

The Deimos Incident is Logan's second book in his deep space travel series. An incident on Deimos causes us to change our concept of the universe.

In The Phobos Expedition, Logan melds the western heritage of Texas and NASA’s space program into an exciting tale of adventure and intrigue.

Logan began writing with his Ancient Secrets series of time-travel novels, The First Migration, The Lost Portal, and The Spirit Gate.

Logan's series about Martian missions retains the character-driven plots enjoyed in his previous time-travel books.

My grandfather is one of the men mentioned as a character in this book, so it was really interesting seeing events I remember from my childhood depicted creatively in this short story.
