Science Fiction
Time Travel for Fun and Prophet
A science fiction/humor novel with a dose of romance and intrigue
By Terry Willey and Carol Baker
Synopsis
"If you know the future, it's easy to be a prophet."
A plumber from Pacoima (Los Angeles). A flapper trapped in Elizabethan England. They're about to meet and embark on a roller coaster journey through history. This humorous sci-fi tale follows Dan and Freddie from frozen wastelands to outer space and back to earth as they ride the surf of time, share sandwiches, fall in love, and try to avoid saving the universe.
Time Travel for Fun and Prophet is a blend of sci-fi and offbeat absurdity that should appeal widely to fans of Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, Monty Python’s Flying Circus, and Doctor Who.
The ideal reader is between the ages of 20 and 70, who enjoys science fiction and humor. They are someone who likes movies such as Monty Python and the Holy Grail and Galaxy Quest. Laugh as you follow the protagonist as he unravels the mystery of his sudden time travel dilemma and finds a soul mate along the way.
They enjoy TV shows like Resident Alien and The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. Their book preferences run toward novels such as Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, the Lemony Snicket series, and Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series.
