BUT THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A TIME MACHINE...
Inventor Dr. Angus McAran, born brilliant but deformed, had as little use for other people as they had for him. Until the day he met the Neanderthal... and Angus discovered he had a destiny, one he wasn't sure he wanted. Turns out Angus had invented a time machine. Well, not yet, but soon, any day now. He’d also founded and led a secret time-traveling organization. That’s why the Neanderthal was here—to make sure Angus’ life went according to plan. Well, that and to protect him from rival time organizations trying to assassinate Angus before he could invent his time machine. But Angus wasn’t sure he wanted ANY of this—and didn’t like taking orders, even from himself. Was his destiny inescapable? Or could he turn his back on all of it and lead a simple, safe life? One thing was certain: no matter what, Angus was going to find out!
This prequel novella is the origin story of Doc Angus and his time-traveling organization, G.R.I.P.E., from Christopher Stasheff’s Warlock of Gramarye series.
Although the hardcover is a book of Stasheff’s short stories, this ebook contains only the novella Mind Out of Time and the GRIPE short story King John's Treasure.
