An Experiment in Time and Memory - by Debbie Coll (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

A woman is found one night in rural Victoria. She has no memory of who she is, or how she came to be bruised, unconscious and alone. The year is 1868. She's a time-traveller.

Lucky Holmes loses his ARCHIVE partner on an easy mission and has no help from his boss to retrieve her. He has all of history to search, and a suspicion that she didn't Travel alone. He's also a time traveller.

He enlists the help of a friend and a disgraced ex-colleague to hunt through all of time to find her. Shinichi Samejima used to work for ARCHIVE, but was let go after he was forced into a compromising situation by his future self. He's not a time traveller, but he has lived this story before and is trying to avoid the inevitable: living through it again.

As they run towards the past, and away from the inevitable future, they uncover tangled answers and old ARCHIVE secrets. They're caught between saving history and changing it, playing as fate and respecting old coincidences. And they all must decide how far they're willing to push history before they risk breaking it.

Review Quotes

"Concussion-inducing car chases, coffee addictions, memory loss, and gloriously plot twist-y time travel. If that doesn't make you want to read this book, then I don't know what will. You should probably reconsider your life choices if you don't want to." -- Rebekah O'Donovan, co-host of Ballads of Beyond

"Time travel, international organizations, daring escapes, car chases, gun standoffs, amnesia, shady men in black, newspaper clippings, and coffee-yes, coffee-this book has it all. With a blend of humor and action that brings the characters off the page, Debbie Coll manages to bring to life one of the best time travel stories I've ever experienced." -- Bojidar P. Marinov, writer friend

"I feel like it's my...book niece or something. I'm proud of it for being released." - Lauren D Fulter, author of The Unanswered Questions series and book aunt to AEITAM.

"You should be proud of yourself for writing something when you were nineteen, that still holds up five years later. You peaked." --my sister, of course

"I rooted for Lucky and Amber and was SO happy by the end. Their chemistry was better than I expected." -- Tip, certified time traveller

(Okay fine the last one she said about it herself.)
