Have you ever wished you could go back and change the past?Joshua Jones has many times. He's spent the last five years trying to forget one tragic day - the day his best friend died in a car crash. Fate has not been kind to Josh, in all of his seventeen years he has never really had any luck. He's not a bad kid; bad things just seem to happen to him. That is until the day he breaks into the house of the local eccentric, the Colonel, and discovers that he's a watchman for the Oblivion Order, a secret organisation of time travellers. Anachronist follows Josh's journey through the untrodden paths of history as he learns more about his abilities. The colonel teaches him how to use historical artefacts to reach key points in the past, and introduces him to other members of his Order. He meets Caitlin and her friends, their mission to maintain the time continuum - and the dark forces that exist beyond it. However, just as Josh begins to feel like he belongs, his past comes back to haunt him and he is forced to face the personal demons that he has buried for so long...The first book in The Infinity Engine Series, Anachronist explores the strange and unusual world of the Oblivion Order.

This book is a study both of anachronism in antiquity and of anachronism as a vehicle for understanding antiquity. It explores the post-classical origins and changing meanings of the term 'anachronism' as well as the presence of anachronism in all its forms in classical literature, criticism and material objects. Contrary to the position taken by many modern philosophers of history, this book argues that classical antiquity had a rich and varied understanding of historical difference, which is reflected in sophisticated notions of anachronism. This central hypothesis is tested by an examination of attitudes to temporal errors in ancient literary texts and chronological writings and by analysing notions of anachronistic survival and multitemporality. Rather than seeing a sense of anachronism as something that separates modernity from antiquity, the book suggests that in both ancient writings and their modern receptions chronological rupture can be used as a way of creating a dialogue between past and present. With a selection of case-studies and theoretical discussions presented in a manner suitable for scholars and students both of classical antiquity and of modern history, anthropology, and visual culture, the book's ambition is to offer a new conceptual map of antiquity through the notion of anachronism.

On Anachronism joins together Shakespeare and Proust as the great writers of love to show that love is always anachronistic, and never more so when it is homosexual. Drawing on Nietzsche, Freud, Heidegger, Derrida, Blanchot and Levinas and Deleuze, difficult but essential theorists of the subject of ‘being and time’ and ‘time and the other’ the book examines why speculation on time has become so crucial within modernity. Through the related term ‘anachorism’, it considers how discussion of time always turns into discussion of space, and how this, too, can never be quite defined. It speculates on chance and thinks of ways in which a quality of difference within time – heterogeneity, anachronicity – is essential to think of what is meant by ‘the other’. The book examines how contemporary theory considers the future and its relation to the past as that which is inescapable in the form of trauma. It considers what is meant by ‘the event’, that which is the theme of all post-Nietzschean theory and which breaks in two conceptions of time as chronological.

Donovan Galloway, married father of two in the Detroit suburbs, partakes in a stroll in the park one summer's evening in 2015 and collapses. When he awakens, he finds he's been transported to 1947 for reasons unknown. He descends into a psychological downward spiral as he tries to make sense of his experience and lands in a mental asylum, battling denial, grief, anger and finally acceptance of his incredible circumstances. He struggles to assimilate into the 1940s as an anachronist - someone belonging to a period other than that in which he exists - and fights off feelings of deep internal guilt when he falls for a woman, Evelyn, in his new era. His budding romantic relationship and integration into his new "life" are abruptly interrupted by a mysterious stranger who claims to be a fellow "anachronist," as well as by nefarious characters tracking him down who want to exploit his knowledge of the future for governmental gain. Donovan's diary-style journey is a meticulous insight into the mind and emotions of an ordinary individual experiencing the extraordinarily supernatural that turns his belief system upside down; a frightened man trying to make sense of the new world around him and questioning his every step into the unknown.
