Beyond Time and Space (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Austin, Texas is known for being weird, so when Sunil Pendleton opens his front door to find the recently deceased Michael Jackson, he barely bats an eye. Even when Larry Fine of the Three Stooges shows up, it doesn't seem all that odd. Soon he finds himself tied to his couch, talking to a cat, and communicating telepathically with warriors from an ancient, forgotten civilization. And then things begin to get strange. Sunil discovers that he is in the midst of a war between two factions of deities. He needs to muster everything he has not only to keep himself alive, but to help save the universe from being harvested of all sentient life. Armed with only an ancient weapon rumored to hold divine power, he must rely on a band of powerful strangers for protection against the dead celebrities that have been sent to hunt him down through the night. When Sunil learns that his allies have ulterior motives, however, he questions whether his companions are out to save the universe or consign it to an unimaginably terrible fate. As the time approaches to unleash the artifact, he grows more uncertain as to whom he will use it on. Yet even the true power of his weapon is in doubt and, if so, he may be unable to do anything at all. Sunil knows only one thing: something has definitely been trying too hard to keep Austin weird.

Autor

Alive and well, despite being given only a 5% chance of surviving his own birth, Paul Tchir is a Canadian-born, Texas-educated, Arabic-speaking (sort of) Californian Wikipedia administrator, amateur street luger, and former deadpool champion who is missing part of a finger due to an unfortunate accident involving a cooking class in the second grade and an inattentive chaperone. Although this injury meant that he was unable to attain his childhood goal of becoming a paleontologist, fortune soon smiled upon him and he was inspired to enter theatre after Charles Bronson cut in front of him in a hot dog line in junior high. He studied under the tutelage of Neve Campbell's father for a year before abandoning this pursuit to write the sequel to Jurassic Park.

Although his pitch was rejected as having "already been written", Paul was not discouraged and has since persisted in his quest to produce literary entertainment. When he needs to convince his wife that he does more than play retro video games and watch old episodes of Star Trek, he works towards the completion of his Ph.D. in history at the University of California, San Diego, where he once toiled for the school's Koala newspaper for about a year, until he was kicked out for not being funny. According to Google, he also gave 2001: A Space Odyssey a bad review on IMDB, moonlights as an Olympic researcher, and has not accessed his Neopets account in over a decade. He lacks the necessary qualifications to write this book, having never killed a celebrity, but he did stab Jenna Haze's cousin in the stomach once. According to reliable sources, he does, unlike Mr. T., have time for jibber jabber, but only by appointment. As you may be able to tell, he has nothing to hide.
