Time Awry — Ronald Dunn

We can't predict the future or change the past, or can we? At age 65, Rob Donne was a man pretty well satisfied with his life, but his life changed forever while on his family's annual vacation to northern New Mexico. By pure accident while trout fishing, he stumbled onto a large cavern in the side of a mountain. In that cavern was an alien spacecraft that had been entombed there for centuries! What followed was an incongruous relationship between him and the spacecraft that he named Solomon. As they spent time together, Rob became more like Solomon and Solomon took on Rob's human traits. After a mind meld with Solomon, Rob grew thirsty for the secrets that Solomon had stored in his circuits; secrets of travel through worm holes to distant galaxies and other planets. But what eventually became Rob's nemesis was his desire to travel through time back to his childhood days! When he was finally able to accomplish this, it produced an effect that, if left uncorrected would forever destroy his timeline in history. When he made the jump to 1949, his 65 year old self and his 8 year old self traded brains; a rotational transference of intellect! There he was, trapped in his young body with no way to reverse the transference and get back to his own time. TIME AWRY is the story of Rob's seemingly insane and desperate attempts to put his body and his brain back to their rightful spot in time.
