Book Description:
One Jump to Save All Time
Life is progressing normally for
sixteen-year-old Dan Renfrew when he accidentally transports himself to
England in the year 1066. He soon realizes that he’s trapped there, and
that’s not his only astonishing discovery. Dan learns that he’s descended
from a long line of time jumpers—secret heroes who travel to the past and
resolve glitches in the time stream that threaten to alter subsequent
history. The only way Dan can return home is to set history back on its
proper course in the Anglo-Saxon age. This is no easy task. A Viking horde
is ravaging England in the north while a Norman army threatens to invade
from the south. In between and desperately struggling to hold on to his
throne is Harold Godwinson, the newly-crowned English king. Dan is fighting
to ensure that events play out correctly when he finds himself plunged into
an even more lethal conflict. To save history, Dan must battle a band of
malevolent time jumpers whose lust for wealth and power threatens the entire
future of the world.
Meet the Author:
Ever since his mother told him he was descended from Vikings, ANDREW
VARGA has had a fascination for history. He’s read hundreds of history
books, watched countless historical movies, and earned a BA from the
University of Toronto with a specialist in history and a major in English.
Andrew has traveled extensively across Europe, where he toured famous
castles, museums, and historical sites. During his travels he accumulated
a collection of swords, shields, and other medieval weapons that now adorn
his personal library. Andrew currently lives in the greater Toronto area
with his wife Pam, their three children, and their mini-zoo of two dogs,
two cats, a turtle, and some fish. It was his children’s love of reading,
particularly historical and fantasy stories, that inspired Andrew to write
this series. In his spare time, when he isn’t writing or editing, Andrew
reads history books, jams on guitar, or plays beach volleyball.
