A Time to Every Purpose cover

An accidental discovery allows real time monitoring of historical events but the regime are wary of its potential effects and ban its use for anything other than Reichsführer approved criminal investigations. But the young scientist who discovered it, Leigh Wilson, has her own secrets and is determined to use what she has found for the greater good. The only problem is, she will have to trust someone she has only just met. Someone who claims to know her family. Someone who wears the death's head insignia of the SS. In the aftermath of the cold-blooded murder of a senior Nazi official, Leigh is forced to make a choice. Will she destroy what she loves to save what she can only imagine? A Time to Every Purpose is a thrilling mix of science, adventure, philosophy, human frailty and action. The ultimate good versus evil, and the eternal question all humans face: Is this my time to act?

A clash of science fiction and alternative history makes A Time To Every Purpose rock along, from the opening scenes of unfurling Swastikas over London to the shattering climax of a world torn asunder. Detailed, grounded in frighteningly believable shades of what might have been, what is and what could still be, this debut novel is not to be missed.;"A thriller with heart... Gifted storytelling combines with meticulous scientific and historical research to produce a memorable and profoundly moving story..." (Elaine Fry, The West Australian).;"A Time To Every Purpose by Ian Andrew deals with huge concepts, looking at the broad sweep of history... a well-executed alternate history novel with some great action scenes."
