The Chairman — John W. Townsend

Ryan Broome had never bid at an auction before, so it was a setback when he bought a commode by mistake. Anyway, he did get the black leather reclining chair he was after. But then, he got more than he bargained for: A stranger, Anton Mesigneriar, a man who became a very close friend. A man who had traveled from 1949 via the chair that Ryan had bought. A man who was determined to change history, to not die but to live.
