Description
Two women...
Two accidents...
Two aftermaths...
Can time bring them together?
Errant technology and unchecked ambition in the quest for interstellar travel combine to entangle the fates of two women centuries apart who have one thing in common: time travel. For one it's a blessing in disguise; for the other a painful disaster.
Jana Anders, a 24th century starship navigator tries to get her passengers home after the ship's warp drive fails and sends them into the distant past, to an unknown region of the galaxy. Another time traveler she's never met might be able to help her but time is running out for the two to meet.
21st century astrobiologist Sonja Bellesario uses her telepathic power to listen for messages from outer space that might help her pursue her destiny in the stars. When a message comes she's not prepared for its consequences. The path forward has unexpected twists. Time isn't always transparent.
On the planet Verde two scientists develop the Telpher, a FTL starship comm device that turns out to have capabilities far beyond what they intend. One of them uses the Telpher to promote his ambitions for power and learns an unfortunate truth with no apparent remedy. There might be a link between the Telpher and the warp drive accident that sends Jana Anders into the past. Will the link be discovered in time?
Telpher is the first book in a series. The second novel is Copernicium-296 and the third novel is Archoi.
Reviews of Telpher
________________
"As the first novel from this author I cannot wait to see more. The opening chapter dramatically sets the stage for the unfolding creative and intriguing experience. The characters have a richness and depth and the challenges they face are so gripping it is difficult to put the book down. Eckroad's engineering and scientific background enhances and brings credibility to the space and time transformation aspects underlying the narrative and to the unexpected conclusion." -- Alan Lauder, Ph.D., BMA, Executive Director, Coalition for the Commercial Application of Superconductors.
"In the middle of the last century, physicists Albert Einstein and Neils Bohr debated the premise that quantum theory could predict "action at a distance." Einstein labelled the whole idea "spooky." Read Steve Eckroad's Telpher and the interstellar/time-dilated dialogs between Jana, James, Sonja and Sergei, then decide for yourself whether Neils or Albert were right!" - Dr. Paul M. Grant, IBM Research Manager and EPRI Science Fellow, Emeriti
Reviews of Copernicium-296:
_______________________
"This second book in a series by Steven Eckroad tells about a conceptual future that is different from other science fiction projections. He introduces some novel concepts. Most importantly is the one that telepathy is related to teleportation. The methodology of the Telpher process is nicely woven into a story of politics, greed, and love. The book is an easy read and the story is intriguing." William V. Hassenzahl, PhD, President Advanced Energy Analysis
"A great sequel to Telpher. Steven has a unique way of integrating just enough astrophysics that makes you pay attention to the science while still weaving an engaging tale. I thoroughly enjoyed the transport." Chris Valentino, MSPH, COO of Pacific Inpatient Medical Group (Retired)
Author's Note: Telpher: A Time Travel Anomaly was first published in 2018 with a different subtitle (Telpher: a novel of parallel destinies). The new edition has been edited to make some details consistent with its sequel, Copernicium-296. There are no consequential changes to the plot. Both books are stand-alone reads.VISIT Author's Website at https://eckroad.com
