About the Book

‘Bedford is funny in a crazed, Rudy Rucker kind of way. While Rucker writes of gonzo theorists, Bedford writes of the gonzo mechanics who keep the machines running.’ — Fred Cleaver, Denver Post

‘… a fast-moving novel that will appeal to the reader who appreciates complicated plot lines, murder, and amusing dialogue. Highly Recommended.’ — Ronald Hore, CM Magazine

‘If you relish the conundrums of time travel and enjoy the slightly off-kilter perspective … this story of a man attempting to both solve a mystery and come to terms with his life will provide a pleasurable escape from present day reality.’ — SF Revu

When a routine time machine service ends in murder, mechanic and maverick ex-cop Spider feels compelled to find the killer. But pretty soon he’s facing more possible futures than a choose-your-own-adventure. Worse, they all have two things in common – his own untimely death and very bad coffee.

Can Spider save the universe and still find time to fix the coffee machine? Join him and see!
