Continuum: Time Rep

Peter Ward. Diversion, $14.99 trade paper (212p) ISBN 978-1-68230-064-0

Ward follows Time Rep with an equally tongue-in-cheek time-travel adventure that thrusts Time Rep Geoff Stamp headlong into a paradox of alternate time lines and corporate espionage. It's been two years since Geoff took a job as a Time Rep for Time Tours, where he shows tourists from the 31st century around 21st century London, and accidentally prevented extensive temporal destruction. All Geoff wants now is a way to tell Zo%C3%AB, the local postal delivery person, how much he loves her%E2%80%94but a weird discovery of a wounded Geoff from another time line sends him off to prevent rival time-travel tourism company Continuum from driving Time Tours out of business and possibly destroying the world. Ward keeps this lightning-fast story whipping along with one temporal switchback after another. Readers who enjoy their time travel with extra helpings of lighthearted, snarky humor will have fun with this one. Agent: Diane Banks, Diane Banks Associates. (May)
