The original novelette - "The Chronology Protection Case" - free, in its entirety, on Wattpad http://www.wattpad.com/story/11597492...

"The Chronology Protection Case" - inspired by Steven Hawking's "chronology protection conjecture" - was first published in Analog Magazine in September 1995. The novelette was a finalist for the Nebula and Sturgeon Awards, reprinted five times - including in the currently best-selling Mammoth Book of Time Travel - and made into an Edgar nominated radio play. The novelette is cited in Paul J. Nahin's A Writer's Guide to the Real Science of Plausible Time Travel as the only recent treatment in science fiction of Hawking's conjecture, and has been on the syllabus of a writing class at the University of Southern California.

The novelette was also made into a short movie by Jay Kensinger in 2002. It was recut, with a new extended ending by Levinson and Kensinger, in 2013, and is currently available on iTunes.

Phil D'Amato, the lead character in "The Chronology Protection Case," appears in two other novelettes, and three other novels: The Silk Code, The Consciousness Plague, and The Pixel Eye. The Silk Code won the Locus Award for Best First Science Novel 1999; a small excerpt is available on Wattpad. More details on Phil D'Amato at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_D&#...

check out this new list of more than 100 time-travel movies now streaming on Amazon Prime Video http://timetravelnexus.com/streaming-...

with this new review (scroll down) of "The Chronology Protection Case", which I'll gladly take - "Stilted acting and hokey science, but still an enjoyable, low-budget adaptation of Paul Levinson’s story with a fine version of D’Amato"

Just came across Time on TV: Narrative Time, Time Travel and Time Travellers in Popular Television Culture -- a really savvy collection of essays -- a must read for anyone who enjoys time travel stories on TV. And David Hipple's essay, "Watchmaking in the Dark: The Intricacy and Intimacy of Crime Traveler," says "The Chronology Protection Case" is "a notable neo-noir addition to the intersection of time paradox and detective work".
