Decade by decade, Martin and his AI, Artie (introduced in the second story of the series),
work to restore their home timeline, continuously hoping that some other damnfool time
traveler won’t come along and mess things up again.
In this first story, Martin (sans
Artie) and a countess from a different timeline butt heads over whose timeline they should
try to recreate.
I was in the way back. Far, far back. I skipped downtime and uptime, back to my past and
then up to my home, and everything worked find. Then one day, in the far back, I tried to
go home.
