The Anachronistic Code: The Future-Past Collateral
Time travel can be confusing, just ask Josh Donegal
His mission to free the survivors of a global catastrophe has taken him fifty years into his own past, yet his experiences in both timelines are on a collision course.
PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, 2035
Sixty-seven-year-old Josh Donegal had spent months preparing for this.
He thought that he’d anticipated everything that could possibly go wrong with his daring underwater escape from the autocratically-ruled Island, only to have it all go south for the unlikeliest of reasons.
What saves him might just be what stops him as well.
NEW YORK CITY, 1985
Seventeen-year-old Josh Donegal was not prepared for this.
Everyone fantasizes about going back and doing it all over again, but what happens when you miraculously get to do just that, and the past you go back to is, well … different? What if those differences are clues that just might help stop a terrible future from happening again?
Josh has gathered allies and they’ve followed the clues to New York City. Unfortunately, they’re discovering that, when time travel is involved, you can’t plan for everything.
Especially not when the future-past collateral is concerned.

About the author
Dwayne R. James
20 books4 followersAward-winning watercolour artist and author Dwayne James lives in Peterborough, Ontario where he writes and paints as often as he can, that is when he's not spending time with his very forgiving family.
Dwayne has a Masters Degree in archaeology, something he claims is definitive proof that he knows how to write creatively. "Indeed, the most important skill I learned in university," he posits, "is the ability to pretentiously write about myself in the third person."
After spending close to a decade as a technical writer at a large multi-national computer company, Dwayne opted to look at their January 2009 decision to downsize him as an opportunity to become a stay@home Dad for his newborn twins, and pursue his painting and writing whenever the boys allow him to do so. It is a decision that continues to make him giggle with wild abandon to this very day.
