SPANNER — Gary Alan Ruse

It's the year 2150 and private detective Nick Spanner and Tianna, his beautiful android partner from the planet Zeptadrina, have gathered enough evidence against dangerous crime lord Mathias Brayderman to not only please their client, one of Brayderman's victims, but also to put Brayderman in jail permanently. But before they can turn over the evidence to Police Inspector Mayhew they are ambushed by Brayderman and his assistants using an experimental energy weapon that hurls them into the past—our present—and causes them to inadvertently interfere with police pursuing a murder suspect. They get arrested. Can they clear themselves and survive in a world that seems primitive to them?
