The Consequences of Time

The fourth in a series of political and scientific thrillers featuring Mark Redstone and Laura Smith.

Can time travellers prevent war?

When scientist Mark Redstone joins a secret MI5 project investigating time travel, he expects theoretical work, not a role in shaping the future of Europe.

But the threat of imminent Russian military action thrusts the time team into a race to prevent a major war.

Recruited alongside Redstone is Laura Smith, his former partner, bringing complex emotions into a critical operation.

As tensions mount and the window for intervention narrows, the team must decide whether changing history is worth the consequences.

  • ‘Highly entertaining.  Another mix of real science, sci-fi, global politics and intrigue.’

    ‘What do you get when you combine a generous helping of science fiction, time travel, MI5/MI6 and a dollop or 2 of romance? And, of course, occasional sprinkles of dry British wit?  A delightful quick read that is fast moving and fun.’
