“You couldn’t ask for a finer guide to the future, or the past, than Doug Molitor. Having so thoroughly enjoyed his ‘Memoirs of a Time Traveler,’ the next book I read is, without a doubt, going to be his ‘Memoirs of a Time Traveler’ again.” – Larry Gelbart, M*A*S*H, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum In this journey through time, archaeologist David Preston comes into possession of a baseball supposedly signed by the legendary Ty Cobb in 1908, thanks to Ariyl Moro and her mysterious companion, Jon Ludlo.

Unbeknownst to her, however, her traveling companion, Ludlo, is a psychopath whose thefts are starting to alter history. In a world were even small changes in the timeline can cause catastrophic consequences, Ludlo’s actions may completely destroy the future. To stop Ludlo, David and Ariyl must solve a mystery involving Bronze Age swordsmen, modern-day Nazis, a steampunk world, Albert Einstein, some highly skeptical Founding Fathers, and a Golden Age Hollywood where the murder of a beloved movie star will spell doom for civilization. Sci-fi meets romantic comedy with sword-swinging adventure!
