Announcing THE THIRD RULE OF TIME TRAVEL by Philip Fracassi

Phantasia Press has announced a signed limited edition of Philip Fracassi’s upcoming novel, The Third Rule of Time Travel. We’ve been fortunate enough to lock in copies for our customers.

About the Book:

Scientist Beth Darlow has discovered the unimaginable. She’s built a machine that allows human consciousness to travel through time—to any point in the traveler’s lifetime—and relive moments of their life. An impossible breakthrough, but it’s not perfect: the traveler has no way to interact with the past. They can only observe.

After Beth’s husband, Colson, the co-creator of the machine, dies in a tragic car accident, Beth is left to raise Isabella—their only daughter—and continue the work they started. Mired in grief and threatened by her ruthless CEO, Beth pushes herself to the limit to prove the value of her technology.

Then the impossible happens. Simply viewing personal history should not alter the present, but with each new observation she makes, her own timeline begins to warp.

As her reality constantly shifts, Beth must solve the puzzle of her past, even if it means forsaking her future.

 

From Publishers Weekly:

“Corporate politics and experimental physics clash in this exciting sci-fi outing from Fracassi (A Child Alone with Strangers)… Underlying the brisk time-caper plot is Colson’s ominous warning that scientists should not play God. Sci-fi fans with a taste for noir will savor this one.”

 

From Library Journal:

“Beth’s desperation to salvage her own ever-changing history makes her desperate, leading to a thrilling, high-stakes ending… Fracassi (Boys in the Valley) turns from horror to sci-fi in his latest. Recommended for fans of technothrillers and those looking for a different take on time travel.”

 

From Tyler Jones:

“Part Crichton, part Bradbury, and all Fracassi, The Third Rule of Time Travel further demonstrates why Fracassi is one of the best writers working today, regardless of genre.”
