‘Timeless’ opens with a “Chick Lit” twist on the Spy Thriller
RIMRIC / CHICAGO, IL (21 July, 2003)

M.R.M. Parrott’s “Timeless” thriller trilogy opened in 2003 with “Book I”, now re-released on mrmparrott.com ahead of the forthcoming launch of “Book II” on 08-08-08. “The books are multi-layered,” says Parrott. “They’re woven from ‘timeless’ plot elements, thriller and science fiction genre as backdrop, with personal choice, family complication and political intrigue as dilemma, to the classic love interest at the heart of the story.”

“Book I” is steeped in ethical conflicts of interest surrounding a time mission by a Dutch Special Force operative, Major Milona Devon. She is assigned to travel in the distant past to investigate a South Carolina Philosophy professor suspected as a key developer of the time machine. Devon is to assassinate her target, but not only has she fallen hopelessly in love, the mission may result in a future they did not expect.

“Timeless” introduces a future when the United Nations is also the global senate, treasury and military, and alien ships have been detected far in space. More immediate trouble arises when a mysterious temporal distortion field is headed for Earth. Two options are pursued, time-travel to the past to execute the supposed originator of the time machine, and development of a force-shield to block the approaching threat from space. This leads to competition between operative and scientific teams, philosophical and ethical dilemma, temporal paradox, and conflicts between past and future circumstances. More details and downloads are available at mrmparrott.com.

M.R.M. Parrott’s books include the novella, “To Lie Within the Moment”, travelogue “Driving Home”, Philosophy and Science series “Dynamism”, monographs in Philosophy, and chapbooks of poems and short stories.
