As promised, a new novel, first written... a while ago, but I didn't like how it read (too much dry explanations, too little active storytelling, but... it wasn't doing anyone any good sitting around collecting dust.
96K+ words, and I'd even started on a sequel, which... never went anywhere (it happens), again the premise was simply too pat, without enough active conflict to keep it exciting and engaging. But, if this does well, I may try writing a new version of it. No promises though.
Description: With no memory, 'Adam' (aka: Ty), awakens in an alien stone-age world, facing creating a civilization on a world unlike his own, with unknown dangers, and untrusted allies. So many things could go wrong, how many will actually pan out as he needs?
As a time travel, this is essentially a sci-fi tale in disguise, but the sci-fi aspects only play out later in the story. Since the protagonist loses his memory as an unexpected side-effect of the time-travel transmission process, it takes him time to piece together what's truly happening.
Yet after a while, as his memory begins returning, the sci-fi underpinnings finally come into play, as Ty finally begins unraveling not only what happened, but how to use the information to his advantage.
While the time-travel is oneway only, he is able to manipulate those who sent him back while essentially playing them for fools, as he goes his own way, resetting history (again) in a way that actually benefits those he's living with and not the technological masters who sent him back.
Yet another story in the works, and yes, this and the last posted story will start posting, followed by my next work, so expect quite a few stories to come.
