Light across time

de Tom Learmont

"In this compelling and entertaining new novel, Alan Stevens and Melanie Austin are London-based journalists, newly dating. They meet Elemer Urban, a charming older man full of intriguing, if far-fetched, anecdotes. Elemer insists that the X-crystals on his strange grey and black ring are linked to time travel and challenges Alan and Mel to take up a quest of his devising. The lovers firmly believe that Elemer is a crackpot charlatan, and they set out to prove it, but they soon find themselves on an adventure in London, Johannesburg, the Free State - and the deep, deep past - that reveals to them a world they could never have imagined. Light Across Time is a genre-bending Science Fiction romance - with a liberal splash of Nabokov - and should win Tom Learmont a dedicated following"--Bookseller's website.
