We Happy Few

What if time-travel was different than anybody ever suspected? In this novelette, prisoners are used as lab rats in a ruthless series of temporal experiments. Physicists learn that it's possible to pillage and plunder the past without affecting the present. . . or so it seems. It SEEMS as though there are no consequences to time travel. But one prisoner sees the fallacy of this, because nobody understands consequences like a con. Unfortunately, nobody listens to the lab rats, and so prisoner Daniel "Steak Knife" Hayes must gather a crew, commandeer a time capsule, and launch a desperate mission to save past, present and future, as well as his own sanity. This is not your ordinary time-travel story, but a tale of brutality, courage, unlikely friendship, and ultimate redemption.
