Local Author Releases New Sci-Fi Novel Exploring Time Travel

Local author Bob Freeman has published a new science fiction novel titled “Behind the Now: Time Travel, But Not Like That.” The book follows the adventurous journey of its teenage protagonist, José, as he navigates the complex and mysterious whispers of time. This latest release is now available for purchase at Eureka Books in Eureka and on Amazon.

Freeman’s novel presents a captivating narrative where curiosity leads José to transform his basement into a portal to the past. Equipped with a candy-apple red bike, a backpack filled with vacuum tube amplifiers, and an inventive spirit, he constructs a sound-based device aimed at uncovering the secrets hidden between present and past. What begins as a personal quest quickly spirals into a surreal odyssey, featuring shadowy landscapes, ghostly visions of his own history, and unexpected alliances with cryptids, lost campers, rogue university labs, and a militarized project involving a “Proton Time Gun.”

The 205-page book promises to engage readers with its imaginative blend of speculative science and deeply human narratives. Freeman is known for his ability to interweave complex scientific ideas with heartfelt storytelling. He has previously authored a five-volume “Space Opera,” which is currently being adapted for television.

Freeman’s latest work not only showcases his unique storytelling style but also expands the boundaries of traditional science fiction. By focusing on themes of time travel with an original twist, he invites readers to reconsider their understanding of time and its impact on personal journeys.

For those interested in exploring the dimensions of time and adventure through the eyes of a young protagonist, “Behind the Now: Time Travel, But Not Like That” offers a thought-provoking experience. Readers can find the book locally at Eureka Books or conveniently through Amazon.
