In the latest Time Bubble story, time travellers Josh and Alice Gardner visit an advanced scientific institute in Canberra. There they meet scientists Henry and Vanessa Jones who are carrying out advanced research into mind transference.
The four of them work together to combine their technology and reach their ultimate goal - to be able to project their minds back through time into their younger bodies, thus achieving immortality.
After some initial success, unforeseen implications become apparent. When the timeline starts changing and people start vanishing, the world seems oblivious to the fact they ever existed. The only people who seem immune to this effect are those who have previously passed through a time bubble, but one by one, they are being killed.
Vanishing Point is the sixth book in the Time Bubble series. A series of spin-off books, entitled Second Chances, is also available.

Who knew you could monetise time travel or use it for your own evil designs
I've said it before, Jason Ayres has a superbly overactive imagination that fuels these wonderfully colourful adventures. Here, we finally get an evil baddie to go toe to toe with the TTBT.
Though the villain in this 6th installment is cartoonish and over the top, I still found the story fun and interesting. Don't expect complex exposition here; the book moves along quickly and everything just conveniently works out. That said, it is a pleasant way to pass the time on a cloudy, rainy day.
A pretty decent chapter in the Time Bubble series. It really makes you think about just how terrible a bad actor getting their hands on time travel technology could be. In fact this might be the best argument that time travel is impossible as its inevitable that a bad person would get their hands on it and wreak havoc.
The previous book was so full of Brit-speak, British locations and chiefly British foods and drinks, it felt like the author was excluding the entire rest of the world (maybe not Australia) as an audience. Not so Book 6. It was a more enjoyable read.
This is going to be a short review. I've really enjoyed the first 5 in this series but this one, just didn't do it for me. There was a bad Leaper in Quantum Leap and this reminded me of that character. Just thought it was too extreme in how it went and having read the other books, you know what will come.
Was a surprise. Book six of the series brings a whole new perspective. A nasty home grown psychopath for one. It's just too risky to mention much more without putting in spoilers. Suffice to say that this was another very entertaining instalment.
I absolutely love the Time Bubble books and this was no exception. I love how each story is fresh and full of new ideas. I was always looking forward to having time to pick it back up and continue the adventure.
In this episode Josh gets preyed upon by the awful psychotic Vanessa. Not only does she create a virus that kills everyone In the world, she destroys their universe and all the others that have split off in quantum style.
Since discovering the firs Time Bubble book last year, I’ve eagerly jumped to the next one. The sixth instalment did not disappoint. These books are a must read for any time travel fans.
I didn’t quite enjoy this as much as last year. Is it perhaps time to move on? Not that it was a bad story, but there was an element of predictability to the whole thing.
