Description
With the height of the cold war looming, a Kansas whiz kid named John King is recruited by the Navy. He is given one simple task: to build a time machine. His superiors are led to believe the machine and all the experiments have failed, but John King kept a secret. His creation works perfectly, and could serve all humanity, or it could become the next great weapon of war. Not only can he travel through time with his machine, but he can also travel around the world. After a tumultuous thirty year career, King retires back to Kansas, taking his machine with him after convincing the military that he would continue his research. In his peaceful Kansas retirement, a serial killer has started down a dark path, murdering bright young teenage girls from the surrounding towns. King vows to use his machine for the good of mankind and tries to prevent the killings. He grossly underestimates all the different nuances of time travel. Time travel paradoxes encompass him, confusion beats him, and his attempts to prevent the killings fail. Years later, after his death, his Grandson discovers the time machine and King's notes, and takes on the task of solving what has come to be known as the HOMER killings. With an alcoholic mother, an absent father, and an apprehensive fiance, Merol Mansfield soon learns that Time, and traveling through it, is nothing like he thougt it would be.
