The Time Machine Gene
(2025)(A book in the Peter August Mystery series)
A novel by Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff and Anthony Frangione
Dreams, delusions, hallucinations … past lives? Whatever they are, I want them to stop.
I had the first ‘episode''' when I was eight. One moment I was a kid on a seesaw, the next I was a Pony Express rider galloping across the Western plains. Harmless, right?
Not harmless. I became ‘the weird kid’, picked on by bullies and avoided by my alleged friends. Many ‘episodes’ later and all grown up, I moved to New York and became a detective with the NYPD. Everything was chill … until I had a major episode in the middle of a drug bust. While I was curating a museum in WWII Austria, my partner, Mel, was getting shot.
Two therapists later, I found myself at the Manhattan Institute of Neuroscience, where Dr. Victoria Shehata was experimenting with something called Genetic Cognitive Transference. I didn’t care what she called it. I just wanted it to go away.
Vic had other ideas. She was convinced my episodes weren’t just waking dreams, and that they could open a door hitherto closed to science. That’s how I found myself investigating a case that spanned centuries and threatened to change the world—and not in a good way.
Genre: Science Fiction
