The Third Rule of Time Travel

Blurb: 
Rule One: Travel can only occur to a point within your lifetime. 
Rule Two: You can only travel for ninety seconds. 
Rule Three: You can only observe. 
The rules cannot be broken. 

This is not the story you think you know. And the rules are only the beginning. 

The Third Rule of Time Travel is a riveting sci-fi thriller that packs an emotional punch from acclaimed author Philip Fracassi, perfect for fans of The Space Between Worlds and Severance.

​The Jason Apsley Series: Books 1-3 Boxset: A Time Travel Adventure​

Posted on 28 March 2025 by Brett Jackson

Humour, mystery, and a time leap back to the 1970s. Could you relive your life and change the past? However, history always repeats … or does it?

… Jason Apsley is about to find out.

Book One — Jason Apsley’s Second Chance

Following a bizarre twist of fate, Jason finds himself in 1976, forty years in the past, six months before he’s due to be born … fair to say, a somewhat tricky situation.

Although faced with the challenges of living in yesteryear, time travel offers Jason a second chance and an opportunity to improve his life. Which, considering the debacle of his first forty years, wouldn’t be difficult.

As our unwitting time traveller soon discovers, meddling with the past has consequences for the future. However, Jason soon realises history must change … lives are at stake.

Book Two — Ahead of his Time

Five months have elapsed since Jason Apsley grabbed his second chance. It’s now 1977, and those time-travelling calamitous months of 1976 are buried in the past. Life is perfect … or is it?

Will the arrival of another time traveller cause Jason’s new life to unravel? As the chaos ensues, his new loved ones begin to question his very existence.

While Jason desperately tries to hold his new life together, the evil Colney brothers – a family with whom Jason discovers he’s inexplicably entwined – unearth the truth and plan to take revenge.

Will time repeat, or can Jason, once again, alter the future?

Book Three – Force of Time

Ten years have elapsed since Jason Apsley grabbed his second chance, and the events of the late ’70s are now just a distant memory … or so he thought.

When the unwelcome arrival of his nemesis brings the inconceivable events of the previous decade to the surface, causing the inquisitive Detective Inspector French to delve into Jason’s past, his life begins to unravel.

Once again, his family face another round of head-spinning perilous predicaments, plunging their lives into chaos.

Will time repeat itself, or can Jason, once again, alter the future?

Relive the ’70s, ’80s, ’90s and evoke the memories in this witty and gripping series. If you like time travel, entwined with mystery, humour, and a dash of romance, you’ll love this fast-paced series by Adrian Cousins.

True Time Travel Stories

True Time Travel Stories: Amazing Real Life Stories In The News (Time Travel Books Book 1)

Blurb: What the Scientists Say About Time Travel It’s fair to say that most scientists today will tell you that time travel is impossible. Three of today’s top physicists – Charles Liu, Brian Green and Michio Kaku – all hold that time travel is, if not impossible, unlikely in the extreme. However, one of the most brilliant minds of our time, physicist Stephen Hawking, disagrees – although only partially. He believes that time travel is theoretically possible, but only into the future. …. But What Do Real People Experience?

The opinion of science, however, has never stopped thousands of people around the world from reporting what they firmly believe are actual experiences of spontaneous time travel! Still others insist that time travel is not only possible, but they have already done it as part of top secret government programmes.

Claims for time travel range from the highly flaky to the astoundingly believable. They are especially difficult to dismiss when time travel reports come from absolutely ordinary, rock-solid people who have nothing to gain by proclaiming they travelled in time. Many people who report time travel experiences don’t necessarily believe it themselves. What happened to them was so strange, so unexpected, yet so real; they simply have no other good explanation for their experience.

You will meet a number of such individuals in this book, most of their stories straight out of the headline of local newspapers. No doubt, a story or two will strike the reader as pure balderdash. On the other hand, some of these cases of time travel are tantalizing and unexplainable. They also come with a certain amount of solid evidence, such as stopped clocks, frozen machines and electromagnetic devices acting in inexplicable ways. Physicist and NASA scientist Tom Campbell said that scientific advances always ‘come from the fringe.’ Thus, even if you consider some of these stories stepping dangerously ‘out there’ onto that fringy edge, remember that many of yesterday’s fringe theories are today’s scientific fact. At the very least, it doesn’t hurt to approach the idea of time travel with an open mind and a sense of wonder. Contents Include: * The Man Who Froze Time * Time Storms * Andrew Basiago * Planes, Trains & Automobiles…..and Ships * Liverpool * Back in Time – Retro-causation * The Kersey Time Slip * Remote Time Review

The Time Travelling Estate Agent.

Blurb: Time takes everything – but what if it could also give back? It’s December 2019 in a small Welsh town, and 60-year-old estate agent Eric Meek discovers a property which boasts a truly unique garage conversion. Instead of the more customary home office or gym, it contains a hole in space-time that has been developed into a traversable portal.

The portal allows movement between 2019 and the day it was first powered up, 3rd July 1976, which just happened to be the best – and worst – day of 16-year-old Eric’s life. Presented with a chance to right the wrongs of the past, Eric revisits the moment he believes defined his future. His adventures in time also find him caught up in a decades-old missing persons case while he attempts to improve the lives of those close to him, including his long-dead father. The Time-Travelling Estate Agent is the story of a first love, a second chance, and a third age redemption. Will Eric change history? Or will history change Eric? Review

Time Travel Romance – Medieval Love: Reunited by Dagger Heart Spell (Time Travel Romance Book Book 1)

Blurb: A Time Travel Romance – Medieval Love:
Reunited by Dagger Heart Spell (Time Travel, Time Travel Romance, Fantasy Historical, Romance Fantasy, Medieval Romance, Medieval Love, Medieval Romance English Knight, Time Travel Books, Medieval Romance Books, Time Travel Romance Historical, Time Travel Romance Medieval) In this romance fantasy, Elise is a present day, high-priced career thief, whose services are sought by the wealthy and anonymous around the globe, and are commissioned through her mysterious employer Mr. Smith.

The latest assignment presented to Elise from Mr. Smith, is the request to retrieve a man’s heart. Once this alarming revelation is disclosed, Elise has serious reservations about her employer and declines the assignment. That is until her employer, Mr. Smith, assures her that it is not for the retrieval of an actual human heart, and that the assignment pays a generous commission fee of two million dollars. Against her better judgement and intuition, Elise accepts the assignment, and finds herself suddenly wrapped up in a bizarre set of circumstances. Elise questions both her sanity, as well as whether or not her mysterious employer Mr. Smith has set her up to participate against her will in some strange time travel fantasy of a delusional group of individuals.

The assignment goes terribly wrong, and Elise finds herself being held captive by a pair who act as if they are living in a different era, and feed her a historical fantasy dating back one thousand years ago, that they are convinced Elise was a part of. Elise begins to question whether she is being fed mind-altering drugs during her captivity in order to play along with the pair’s outlandish time travel scheme, until a series of incidents start to trigger an overwhelming feeling of deja vu. With two failed escape attempts, Elise is mentally frustrated and physically weakened, and to make matters worse, she finds herself strangely drawn to her captor Mr. Andris Blackstone, the very same man who had commissioned her services through her employer Mr. Smith.

Desperate to be released, Elise makes a deal with Mr. Andris Blackstone. His request is simple, and if Elise complies, he will allow her to leave, along with the full two million dollars she was promised for the assignment. Things don’t go quite as Elise had planned however, when a memory from one thousand years ago is suddenly returned to her, along with something else she certainly wasn’t expecting. A return of something so sacred, it took the clandestine efforts of those she knew in a previous lifetime to fulfill.
