Meet Dr. Tim Zimov.
PhD. Tech millionaire. Inventor of the world's only working time machine. Also: incredibly bad at not dying.
When Tim fires up his time machine in his San Francisco flat, he's ready for adventure, discovery, and maybe a little glory. What he gets instead is the Cambrian Period (no oxygen - rookie mistake), medieval England (the bacteria alone!), and the Great Fire of 1666 (yes, he may have started it).
Good thing he keeps coming back.
Join Tim and his sarcastic robot Alan as they hurtle through history in six spectacularly fatal misadventures - from the first oceans to the age of radium - learning the hard way what every era got terrifyingly wrong about staying alive. Along the way, watch for Frank. He's just a seagull. Probably.
Each disaster is real. Each death is educational. Each chapter is one more reason to pay attention in science class.
Brilliant for readers who think history is boring until someone dies in it... which, it turns out, is every page.
