Back To When They Belong

Flint Nasmins is a newly self aware rehuman being. The love of his life is an EMA (Extra Mental Ability) ranked genius. That’s intellect so high it ranks as a superpower. This is a fact that weighs on him deeply because with all her mental throughput she has no idea he’s not human, but a man made nanite entity.  In his life of less than a year, everything he encounters is brand new to him including falling in love. As if this love weren’t complicated enough, the two get caught up in an explosion that blasts them back in time two decades. This is the tale of Flint Nasmins journey into self awareness. It’s a trek that is complicated with love and deception, displacement and death. Along the way he has to fit in where he does not belong and deal with an unexpected pregnancy, all while trying to get back when they belong.

A Novella expansion of the Novel The Dark Son of Deslar: In the I AM Andrean series.

Over three thousand years after the final battle over the soul of mankind, between God, Satan, and Nefarious, destroys the earth, a new chapter begins. The resulting hyperspace blast from the earth’s destruction flings the last of humanity into the furthest reaches of space on their surviving starships. Over 300 years passes before these star cast seeds of mankind reclaim the stars, and begin to find each other. The first of the new worlds to find each other and reconnect old humanity on new worlds, would eventually form The Confederation of Republic Worlds. This union would be marked with the erection of the Jara Timekeeping Tower on Jara Prime, broadcasting a synced time throughout the known universe. This is the Jara Era.

Ratings and reviews

First of all this was a FANTASTIC read. I have to say however that I ABSOLUTELY must go back and read the main book this story is from, "Dark Son of Deslar". This was the second short story expansion from that book I have read. I get the feeling I'm romancing subordinate characters as main characters.With all that said, THIS IS A LOVE STORY. Flint is a brand new lifeform, with brand new feelings, one of which is love. He is in love with a woman who does not know he is not human. In the middle of dealing with all of this he gets blown back in time 19 years and has to figure out a way to get home. This is a love story dropped in the middle of a sci-fi world, with a pinch of time travel. Honestly the time travel of 20 year is all kind of irrelevant given this is all so far in the future. It matters to them though.

Love all this writer's creativity and imagination.

About the author

 I’m sure you have heard of writer's block; well I have writer's flood. Once that floodgate is open...well I'm at it's mercy. The story may be over on the page but the main characters' lives keep going in my head. For that matter one act, interesting characters who have backstories and lives that have to be filled in. It is a torment if I don't write it down. As a result I have a universe, 4000 years of history that starts in a time when the earth  was NOT the alleged mythical birthplace of man (if you believe that kind of thing).
