Fans of Michael Crichton, Stephen King's 11 22 63, and campus satire will find this novel a unique mix of humor, history, and heart. When a professor gains access to a time machine, he finds himself at history's crossroads-from Prohibition speakeasies to JFK's Dallas, from Dylan's Greenwich Village to Buddy Holly's New Mexico. But the real test comes when he returns to modern academia, where bureaucracy and cancel culture prove just as strange as time travel.
