Publisher's summary
“You can’t change the Big Thing.” All time-travel tales inevitably succumb to this established dictum governing good science fiction.
9/11 tragedies and Auschwitz can’t be overruled without the “butterfly effect” causing even greater havoc. When high school senior Jordan Wickam gets a mysterious bootleg iPod that flips back his calendar exactly seven days, he piles up a greedy fortune betting on horse-racing exactas. Then on the night of the senior prom, he’s abruptly forced to decide: Do I play God?
A baseball teammate’s date is killed in a DUI car crash; should he scoot back a week and rewrite the glittery event? But his digital toy also hides an unexpected menu erasing whole centuries at a time. Four additional thrill rides beckon with their promises of adventure and romantic temptation. Jordan suddenly has a front-row seat for presidential assassinations and a deck chair on the world’s unluckiest ship. As tension escalates, Jordan slowly begins to comprehend why he was chosen.
“The Time Portal” blends fiction with true details, using some of the most appealing historical stories ever enjoyed by large audiences. Each adventure places the listener squarely in the arena of action: a crippled Kirk Gibson prepares to face the Oakland A’s untouchable Dennis Eckersly with Jordan and his unsuspecting youthful dad in Dodger Stadium’s loge section. 1865 is equally accessible. His heart in his throat, Jordan buys a ticket for the April 14 performance of “Our American Cousin,” knowing there are no White House guards on alert to protect a vulnerable Abe Lincoln.
Jordan also scoots back to another April 14 with an icy wind blowing across the top deck of Titanic as an alien passenger from Long Beach realizes he must not, dare not shriek a warning at the tower lookouts. “Dead ahead! Iceberg!” David is also the author of the Rachel Marie series of love stories all set in his childhood home of Bangkok. Be sure to download #1, "Love in a Distant Land," by Tonya Foster Yancey.

Story
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Story
Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Story
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Story
Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Story
In the heart of the South Pacific lies Point Nemo, the most desolate and remote place on Earth. At its core is a dead zone, devoid of life, where government agencies crash their obsolete satellites and space stations, confident they won't harm a soul. When the International Space Station suffers a catastrophic failure and plummets through the atmosphere, it's here that Mission Specialist Julie Rohr, an astrobiologist studying living space dust called xylem, finds herself marooned. Julie's only hope for rescue lies in the hands of her estranged father, Dr. Finn Maddern, a renowned mycologist.

Myths. Legends. Ancient lore. Primeval stories buried deep within the memories of the earliest civilizations of mankind. Even today, many cultures retain the distant longing for a lost paradise, tales of a worldwide flood, and legends of a tower of confusion. Yet too few of us ask if the legends are true. This is a story of the First Age, when dragons and giants freely roamed the earth and mankind lived for hundreds of years. Paradise was fresh in their memories and still sought by those who yearned for it. The earth was young, unmarred, and bountiful -- and ripe for subjugation by men, ...
