Unraveling Time
A blend of Time-Travel, Adventure, and Romance
from the author of the Fallen Cloud Saga
Would you go to the ends of the earth to save the life of the one you love?
Would you go to the ends of time?
Hamish and Odette don't know it, but their 10th anniversary is going to be a pivotal night in their already rocky marriage. Dying, it turns out, is a bad way to end an evening, but it's just the beginning of their adventure.
This time-travel romance sweeps back and forth through history, from Ancient Greece to Federal Philadelphia, from Roman Alexandria to present-day Seattle. Hamish and Odette fight to regain what is rightfully their marriage, their lives, and their very future, all stolen from them by rogue minds, hungry for stolen lives.
But how do you fight such creatures? How do you fight something that has an eternity to prepare?
Meticulous research and detailed historical settings are the hallmarks of Kurt R.A. Giambastiani, author of The Fallen Cloud Saga and The Ploughman Chronicles. This novel is no exception, and is sure to please fans of time travel and historical fiction alike.
"Giambastiani weaves a rich tapestry of period, place, and character in this riveting journey of souls." -- K.A. Corlett, author of Ever Your Servant

Kurt R. A. Giambastiani often deals with the notion of time in his books, and in this one he delivers a well-conceived examination of... well... I'm not sure I can explain it, which is why the book stands so well on its chosen theme. Great novels work well when they deliver characters and plots that turn over ideas we've had to look at them from another angle.
This book does that through characters so completely realized you'll believe they're neighbors of yours. I won't repeat the plot here because I'd like to think others will discover this book the way I did -- one page at a time.
When the author made some of his books available at reduced cost, I took advantage of the author. I've followed his blog for several years and knew I'd be reading something well-written, even if it's off-track from what I normally select. Sci-fi just isn't my preferred escape fiction. But Giambastiani gave me believable characters in a realistic setting, sucking me into the vortex that would take me through time in a thrilling, puzzling, and ultimately satisfying journey.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who's wondered about the connections we make with each other, their ability to hold strong through time, life, and death.

An amazing well written story. Deals with the philosophy of death time in a way that in my personal opinion is a joy to read
