When Syd Brixton was eleven years old, her identical twin vanished from a park in broad daylight and was never found. Fast forward twenty years. Despite her lingering guilt, Syd has built an idyllic life. She has a great job at a popular pub. A beautiful home. A loving extended family. And best of all, a long-term relationship with a handsome firefighter who wants nothing more than to have children of his own. Then it all comes crashing down. One night outside the pub, Syd’s favorite customer, Morley, is killed in a horrific accident. Moments before he dies, he gives Syd an extraordinary gift: the power to go back in time–and with it, the ability to learn the truth behind her sister’s disappearance all those years ago. But what if the truth is too painful to face? What if Syd would rather focus on saving Morley’s life instead? Even against his wishes? If she makes the wrong choice, she could lose everything ... her home, her family. Her life. All in the blink of an eye.

Essays in this work examine treatments of history in science fiction and fantasy television programs from a variety of disciplinary and methodological perspectives. Some essays approach science fiction and fantasy television as primary evidence, demonstrating how such programs consciously or unconsciously elucidate persistent concerns and enduring ideals of a past era and place. Other essays study television as secondary evidence, investigating how popular media construct and communicate narratives about past events.

In a very different future world, a physicist who has morphed into a 2-D, anti-matter monster because of a failed fission experiment plots his revenge against the Nibiruan scientists who forcibly trapped him between the past and the future. There is no question that Noxtrademon has gone completely mad. Meanwhile, a man has been born cosmically determined to reset The Great Galactic Synchronization Clock to the center of time. Eric Holmes, now thirty and locked up in a cell within the Paranormal Clinical Institute, has no idea that this is his destiny until he finds himself inside the inter-dimensional obelisk with a Jinn-like man who calls himself Freeman. As the evil Noxtrademon plots to trap The Master of the Universe so he and his malevolent time-ghost progeny can escape and destroy Earth, Eric and Freeman, with a minor assist from the United States Navy and Nibiruan space fighters, must do everything in their power to discombobulate Noxtrademon and his sadistic army—before it is too late. In this fast-paced science-fiction thriller, an intrepid hero existing millions upon millions of light years away from Earth embarks on a dangerous mission to fulfill his destiny and save the planet from destruction.

'Every story ever told really happened...' (The Doctor, 'Hell Bent', 2015) Stories are, fundamentally what Doctor Who is all about. In Once Upon a Time Lord, Ivan Phillips explores a wide range of perspectives on these stories and presents a lively and richly-varied analysis of the accumulated tales that constitute this popular modern mythology. Concerned equally with 'classic' and 'new' Who, Phillips looks at how aspects of the Time Lord's story have been developed on television and beyond, tracing lines of connection and divergence across various media. He discusses Doctor Who as a mythology that has drawn on its own past in often complex ways, at the same time reworking elements from many other sources, whether literary, cinematic, televisual or historical. Once Upon A Time Lord offers an original take on this singular hero's journey, reading the unsettled enigma of the Doctor in relation to the characters, narratives and locations that he has encountered across more than half a century.

Syd Brixton has bigger problems than trying to prove she’s not a terrorist. In the aftermath of Flight 444’s crash, Syd and her fellow time travelers have become the target of an FBI investigation, suspected of orchestrating the disaster they miraculously survived. But the FBI probe is nothing compared to the final blow that shatters Syd's world: her young son, Christopher, is kidnapped and whisked a decade into the past. With the talisman lost during the plane crash and her ability to timeblink gone with it, Syd’s hopes of finding her little boy crumble. In the grips of despair, Syd comes face-to-face with Christopher’s abductor who chillingly reveals that Syd’s past use of the talisman has attracted the wrong kind of attention. Now, along with Christopher's uncertain fate, the very essence of timeblinking is at risk of exploitation, potentially sparking global chaos.

Never has she felt more powerless. Will Syd be able to protect her family and stop the catastrophic ripples she unwittingly set in motion? Or will her efforts prove a futile struggle against the natural flow of time? Find out how the past, present, and future collide in Dragonfly, the thrilling conclusion to The Syd Brixton TimeBlink series.

She accidentally time traveled with a killer. Now, she may never hold her son in her arms again. Syd Brixton can timeblink. So when she and her sister are trapped on a crashing plane, Syd doesn’t hesitate to use the power to transport them both back in time five years. But things get complicated when they arrive in 2019 and discover three strangers have inadvertently hitched a ride, one of them with a dark and deadly past. It wouldn’t be a problem if Syd could timeblink everyone back to the present, back to anywhere but a looming air disaster. Unfortunately, timeblinking doesn’t work like that. It comes with its own set of rules—and those rules make the group’s return to their present just as dangerous as if they had stayed on the doomed plane. Syd has not chosen this date randomly, though. Her son’s father, Morley, is still alive in 2019 and the only person on the planet who can help her get back to where their little boy is waiting. But when two of the passengers go missing—one a known murderer—the entire group’s return to the present is threatened. And now, even Morley may not be able to prevent them from being stuck in the past . . . separated from their loved ones forever.
