Time and again

Cal Hornblower is piloting his ship when an accident knocks him out. He comes to in a remote cabin in Oregon, where Libby Stone has taken him in. Nothing around him fits: the furnishings are real wood and cloth rather than synthetics, and Libby cooks with appliances that look ancient to him.

The proof arrives when Cal picks up a new book and checks its copyright date. He has landed 200 years in the past, in the late twentieth century. He also feels a strong pull toward Libby, which complicates any thought of going home.

Back in the twenty-third century, Cal's brother J.T. works out what has happened and deliberately travels through time to bring him back. He assumes Cal wants rescuing. Cal may not.

When J.T. reaches the cabin, Cal and Libby are both away, and he meets Libby's sister, Sunny. She attracts him, but he is set on his mission: find his brother and return to their own time. This is a time-travel romance with two couples in the making, a science-fiction premise and a love story running side by side.
