Description
Six hundred years after a fifteenth century scryer gains the alchemical knowledge to create a dark future in his own image, Addison Shaw inherits a destiny to fight this ancient war threatening all he loves with extinction.
Using an alchemical pen, he writes himself into past lives, leaving his body in the present. Upon completion of his mission, he must die in order to break the link and return home. While his enemy, Kairos, plays a three-dimensional chess game across the centuries, with each ‘Inking’, Addison’s world shifts further into chaos.
From ancient Alexandria to modern Tokyo, Addison and his fellow Inker, Jules, battle against Kairos’ machinations.
After Jules is murdered in the present and her consciousness trapped in an Inca princess five hundred years in the past, Addison, alone and close to defeat, discovers the only way to save his world might be to destroy it.
Advance Praise
"DIE BACK is a masterful blend of fantasy and historical fiction in the vein of Wesley Chu's TIME SALVAGER and Stephen King's 11.22.63, except in this case, dying to save the future one page at a time. Love it!" Ken Atchity, Author and Film Producer; "From the first page, Die Back pulled me into it's twisting and turning plot." Sid Hall, Amazon customer; "A wild ride through time in a quick paced, action packed adventure." B. Starnes, Amazon Customer

I received a free ARC of this from NetGalley in return for an honest review. This is absolutely fantastic, time travel, a league of time continuum protectors, the modern and the ancient. Well written, the action moves along with good pace. Thoroughly enjoyable, I'll look forward to book two in this series.

I was hooked when I read the synopsis: After Jules is murdered in the present and her consciousness trapped in an Inca princess five hundred years in the past, Addison, alone and close to defeat, discovers the only way to save his world might be to destroy it.
Die Back is a great sci-fi novel that was very well written. Looking forward to reading more by this author in the future.
