A Time of Fear: Book Three of The Time Magnet Series - Russell F. Moran - Bog

A Time of Fear A Novel of Time Travel - Sequel to The Thanksgiving Gang You've done the impossible. You've traveled through time to the future. Instantly, you are paralyzed by fear because Manhattan is now a post-apocalyptic wasteland- the aftermath of a nuclear bomb. Janice Monahan is a beautiful heating and air conditioning engineer with a mouth like a cab driver in traffic. She read a newspaper article that said five American cities were attacked with nuclear bombs. She needs to sound the alarm before it's too late. She must return to the wormhole or time portal. As she approaches the wormhole for her return time trip, she meets a shadowy figure who she recognizes as a known terrorist. Or is he? The guy seemed pleasant, almost gentlemanly, but can she trust him? He insists that he make the time trip with her, and she reluctantly agrees. When they emerge on the other side of the time portal, Janice decides to rent a car to drive from New York City to Washington D.C. to meet with the government. She keeps a gun trained on her traveling companion. All the while she questions her sanity, because she can't believe that she's a time traveler-but she is. As they set out on the New Jersey Turnpike, Janice began the most amazing adventure of her life. "The guy doesn't look or sound at all threatening," Janice thought. "But what the hell do I know. I'm the woman who married a man committed to mass murder." She soon discovers that things are not always what they appear to be, including her terrorist "road trip buddy," who, she noticed, is quite handsome. Their meeting in Washington was a revelation that Janice would never forget. The challenge, for Janice and her colleagues, is to try to keep one step ahead of the terrorists. A key is to interrogate Janice's ex-husband, a man suspected of being at the center of the terror plot. He was the weapons officer on one of the ships that was bombed. She hates the man, but with the help of psychiatrist/detective Doctor Bennie Weinstein, she manages to engage him in conversation, and lifts the lid off the coming conspiracy. In the middle of the bomb hunt, Janice falls madly in love with a most unlikely character-her time travel and road trip buddy, who turned out not to be the man she thought he was. Janice finds herself working hand and hand with a group of ingenious American spies, who, in turn, are amazed at Janice's ingenuity-not to mention her courage and accuracy with a gun. The Director of the CIA tries to convince Janice to give up her engineering practice and come to work for the CIA. The clock is ticking and millions will soon lose their lives - unless they find the bombs. "A riveting, pulse-pounding nail-biter in the spirit of The Gray Ship and The Thanksgiving Gang. A Time of Fear will hold you and not let go, even after you finish the book." Grab this time travel thriller now for the ride of your life.
