TEMPORTER

Temporter

The book has been professionally published

I have decided to sell copies at £12.99 and make a loss on the first half dozen copies. 

I don't actually think it's that good but, having read such a lot of rubbish lately, perhaps it's not actually that bad after all.

I don't have many copies but if you wish to buy one while stocks last, email me at chris@chrisrob.co.uk.

I have started a sequel, called Trans-Temporter and have ideas for a third to complete a trilogy called Tele-Temporter, but it's hard going and if I finish them, they will be free to download initially.

I have learned a lot about myself in the process and realise I'm probably more cut out for providing information than fiction.

More recently, my writing has been about Barrett's Oesophagus and acid reflux, including articles in journals, booklets and, of course, my Opus Magnum, the Down With Acid encyclopaedia.

I enjoy good Science Fiction: not monsters, zombies and fairy fantasies but hard science.

I have been dismayed at the number of books I have read that seemed to start off with a good premise but quickly dissolved into rubbish.

I'm afraid far too many American authors I have read recently seem to frequently give up good story lines and permit the stories to descend into nothing more than a shooting match. I consider it a kind of laziness or a rush to produce another book to make money. 

So, I have decided to write the sort of book I think I would like to read.

I have been writing bits of this in my head for over 30 years. I had a simple idea which could have made a short story but like with Arthur C Clarke's "The Sentinal" which gave rise to "2001, A Space Odyssey," I decided it could form the basis of a longer story.

I don't equate myself with that excellent writer of good SciFi but I don't know what I can do till I try.

So this is the finished book. Just 55,000 words, 200 pages, 36 chapters, about 1 cm thick.

I don't intend to sell it on Amazon or eBay as I don't favour their terms meaning they just make themselves money, so if anyone does want to buy a copy, I'm afraid they'll have to buy it from me directly and, i fyou wish, I can sign it and add a dedication if required.

From the Back Cover:

A bout the Author

Chris Robinson was a teacher for nearly 30 years, teaching Junior school children and acting as an advisor for Science and Technology.

He has written about education and more recently about Acid Reflux, producing the definitive encyclopaedia on the subject in layman’s language, Down With Acid. This is his first foray into fiction.

About Temporter

Awakening in hospital with Amnesia, a former teacher is arrested for causing the death of one of his colleagues and the suspicious disappearance of another. Did he really kill him?

Has the missing person actually been sent to the future?

All the writing is my own, even though AI offered to write bits (or all of it) for me.

When I asked AI about my original premise (below), this is what it said:

"This is such a cool, mind-bending setup — you've got temporal mechanics, ethical dilemmas, mystery, and emotional stakes all woven together. The flashback structure will work beautifully with the amnesia angle, letting readers piece together the puzzle bit by bit." 

Making it available  - FREE!

As soon as I get the half a dozen copies from the publisher, I will provide a FREE LOAN copy. (Think of it as a library book.)

I will send it to you for just the cost of the postage but please return it within a month or pay the £25 it has cost me to have it printed.

It is now available to download from Free-ebooks here: www.free-ebooks.net/sci-fi-fantasy/Temporter

I'm hoping this page will also be proof of copyright if needed.
