Mind Out of Time

BUT THERES NO SUCH THING AS A TIME MACHINE . . .

Inventor Dr. Angus McAran, born brilliant but deformed, had as little use for other people as they had for him. Until the day he met the Neanderthal... and Angus discovered he had a destiny, one he wasnt sure he wanted. Turns out Angus had invented a time machine. Well, not yet, but soon, any day now. Hed also founded and led a secret time-traveling organization. Thats why the Neanderthal was here - to make sure Angus life went according to plan. Well, that and to protect him from rival time organizations trying to assassinate Angus before he could invent his time machine. But Angus wasnt sure he wanted ANY of this - and didnt like taking orders, even from himself. Was his destiny inescapable? Or could he turn his back on all of it and lead a simple, safe life? One thing was certain: no matter what, Angus was going to find out!
