Book Cover & Preview Text
Imagine standing at the threshold of a time portal with a decision to make as to which way to go. Back into the known past and change some historical event, or into the unknown future with all its wonderment. Is the difference truly only a fine thin line? How often have you heard the phrase, “If I could go back and do it all again I would certainly do things differently” Everyone has events in their lives that they would like to erase, or to simply do-over. If you could rewind time, what would you do? Renew a lost relationship; look into the eyes of your mother one more time; finish school while you are young; or maybe something more heroic, like kill Hitler and save the lives of sixty million people. Such is the wonderment of dreams and maybe someday technology may offer a magic button such endeavors. Just think about it, to have the power to step back in time to right a wrong or eliminate a known evil of the past. Sounds wonderful, but consider this, what if history is more than just our past, more than the foundation to our future, what if it is a state of being and very resistant to change. In our dreams of stepping back in time to change an event, the outcome of such dreams is always positive, but what if it is not? What if it is negative? Would a simple change of the past snowball into a catastrophe in the future? Is our past cast in stone and resistant to our meddling? Will history always seek a method to set itself back on its own path? So you kill Hitler, would the next fanatic in line simply step up and finish his evil work, righting history with all its horrid acts of war but only with a different name. My Half of Tomorrow presents to a young man of physics an accidental opportunity to connect to the past and the power to alter the future, but the outcome was far from what he expected. Written into his legacy are the words, “History is the sum of all known knowledge, including the forbidden knowledge of change.”

About the Book
What would you do if you were given the opportunity to travel in time? Would you renew a lost relationship, look into your mother’s eyes one last time, or finish school while you are young? Or would you do something more heroic, such as kill Hitler to save the lives of millions or alert the world of a natural disaster?
For all the time you have spent wondering what you would do if you could time travel, have you considered what the consequences of changing history might be? So you kill Hitler, would you fool fate, or would another fanatic simply step up to take his place? Would a simple change of the past snowball into a catastrophe in the future?
When John—a young man of physics with an insatiable curiosity for science—is accidentally given the opportunity to travel in time, he must face the questions that this ability presents to him. He must ask himself what he should do with this power. With the power to connect to the past and alter the future, John can change his life—and the course of history—forever. But when he takes action, the outcome is far from what he expected.
Written into John’s legacy are the words, “History is the sum of all known knowledge, including the forbidden knowledge of change.”
