A novel by

 
 
Dream Catchers are the Time Travellers of the future. Using cloned brains from people of the past, they can harness the memories of kings and presidents, heroes and peasants, murderers and lovers. Whole lives can be downloaded to be experienced by the privileged and wealthy of the 22nd century, where extended lifespans have made leisure the major industry.
But what if the Dream Catchers can do more than passively observe and act as a conduit to history?
SAS officer Jack Bailey finds himself transported 100 years into the future from 2011 Hereford to California when a Dream Catcher swaps lives and takes his place.
Jack has residual memories of the man whose body he know occupies: scientist Brad Quincey. The man who, he assumes, is now occupying his own body back in the UK and living with his wife and daughter.
He is angry but trapped and slots into his new role as a time traveller until another Dream Catcher goes missing, whilst on a trip to cover the assassination of US President Barack Obama in London 2011, and sends back British Prime Minister David Cameron in his place.
Jack returns to his own body and his own time to share minds with Quincey, in an attempt to arrange the Prime Minister's return, and avert the assassination of a President.
If he does, will he change history? Will he be trapped or be able to return to the future? Either way, he thinks it a risk worth taking to make a better tomorrow.
