No Onward Chain is the third book in the Echo Lane series, following No Easy Deeds — selected by Amazon as one of the top Kindle releases of 2024 — and The Fourth Clause.
It’s November 1990, and Danny Monk is looking forward to a quiet Christmas. After the turbulent year he’s endured, it’s the least fate owes him.
Alas, fate isn''t in a giving mood.
On an ordinary day in the office, Danny receives a phone call from his brother, Robbie. What unfolds is a tale of woe involving two missed mortgage payments, a letter from a solicitor, and a fourteen-day deadline.
With his own finances strained and Robbie desperate, Danny has only one thing left to sell: a derelict house at the end of an unmade lane, signed over to him by a woman he’d rather forget. The same Mrs Weller who warned him to board up the safe in the kitchen and never return.
However, Danny’s needs are greater than his fears, so he invites his colleague Gavin to the house with a view to selling it. Unfortunately, Gavin has a curious mind, and a safe with a keypad is more than he can resist.
From that moment, Danny’s problems stretch far beyond his brother’s mortgage. Cast thirty years into the future, he and Gavin only have a matter of days to find a way back to 1990. After that, they won’t just be trapped — they’ll be locked down.
Genre: Science Fiction
