Cover of the new Time Traveller's Dilemma

A chance purchase puts a time machine into the hands of Paul Sherwood, a man with a desire to improve his life and those of his family. Thom Poole’s tale tells of Sherwood’s travels through time, visiting his ancestors and witnessing a number of important events. He experiences the London Blitz during the search for his great-grandfather and fighting alongside his great, great-grandfather in the WWI Trenches during the first day of the Battle of the Somme. He experienced the slums of Victorian London and the rural serfdom of Georgian England, but what did he leave in his wake? In his travels, Sherwood awakes a passion for history, but also emotional ties to his family. He tries to improve their lives by warning them of dangers, paying for luxuries and saving some lives. Follow the unfolding story and imagine what you would do in Sherwood’s situation, would you help your ancestors to a better life? How would you cope with The Time Traveller’s Dilemma? Find out if Sherwood does!

How This Book Came About

As a keen genealogist, Thom was hitting a bit of a brick wall. He had just published his first novel and was trying to get some inspiration for a new story. He wondered what it would be like to be able to travel back in time to ask his ancestors about facts of their lives that would unblock the problems. He also recognised the potential problems - hence the Time Traveller's Dilemma was created.
