Time Orphans: Chronicles of a Time Traveller (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798877723245)

Richey Lamacq and his sister Lisa were found wandering the streets as children, victims of the 1990 Poll Tax Riots - or so everyone always believed.

Decades later, and out of options, Richey answers a newspaper ad for a scientific experiment that will unravel everything he thought he knew about himself. Sent back through time by a machine not yet fully understood, even by its inventor, Richey finds himself in 1913 London - then the trenches of the Somme, the humid chaos of India, and a remote tropical island - each stop pulling him further from the world he left behind, and closer to a truth about his own identity that will upend everything he thought he understood about who he is, and how he came to be.

Time Orphans is the first book in a planned duology that blends the intimacy of a family mystery with the scope of a century-spanning adventure.
