Homepage Update: THE TIME IDIOT

Recent homepage updates include more chapters from the novels ALIEN LAND and THE TIME IDIOT.

"Wait..." The stranger came within six feet's distance, pulled a gun and shot Nietzsche three times. "Die, you nihilist son-of-a-bitch!"

Prescott could not stand the sight of gunshot wounds. Covering one eye with his hand, he looked down on the corpse and checked that the man's chest had stopped moving.

"May God have mercy on your atheist soul," Prescott said and returned to the time pod.

Next, Karl Marx...
