"TIME GUN" (Chrondisp 1)The time is the 21st Century and the world is polarized into two competing ideological power blocks. ASIABLOCK, formed from the teeming millions of the Orient, has evolved a religion where Communism has been refined and melded with "Tao" (The Way). WESTBLOCK stands for free-enterprise and capitalism.But a new technology of time travel has been discovered - the Chronological Displacement or Chrondisp technique - and both sides are using it to rummage through what the media call the "Databank of History", to aid them in their struggle. Captain Digby, army veteran of the recent limited but vicious war ("The Pakistan Affair"), is recruited by the WESTBLOCK Chrondisp Institute to be sent back into the time of Napoleon to discover and bring back into the present a special type of musket that was supposed to have been invented then, and actually used in the Battle of Waterloo. "TIME GUN" is a vigorous and eventful narrative of Digby's strange adventures with a merciless Frenchman in the Paris of 1815 and at the Battle of Waterloo, with an intelligent computer virus and Arab terrorists in 2015. And behind everything the ruthlessly ambitious Dr Duluth. ISBN: 3-933523 "TIME GUN" is the first of the CHRONDISP series. |
