Book description
The hoax proposed to John Baird by a two-bit con man in a seedy Key
West bar was shady but potentially profitable. With little left to lose,
the struggling, middle-aged Hemingway scholar agreed to forge a
manuscript and pass it off as Papa's lost masterpiece. But Baird never
realized his actions would shatter the history of his own Earth . . .
and others.
Now the unsuspecting academic is trapped out of time - propelled
through a series of grim parallel worlds - and pursued by an
interdimensional hitman with a literary license to kill. Joe
