Julius and the Black Hand

by Barry Hunt

Overview

Time-shifter Julius returns from a trip to the past to find that he and his companions are trapped in a parallel world where Germany had won the First World War. Whilst they were away, someone changed history and now everything is different and dangerous!

The only way to return to their own world is to change the past back again by making sure the assassination of the Archduke Ferdinand goes ahead on June 28th 1914. To succeed they must join forces with the Black Hand, the secret terrorist organisation in Serbia that planned the operation. But the Black Hand is in trouble itself - there is a power-struggle for its leadership and not everyone wants the assassination to go ahead.

Carefully researched, this exciting adventure traces the actual events that led up to the start of the First World War and shows how it almost never happened. The story should interest all those who want to find out what really took place as well as those interested in time-travel.

Julius and the Black Hand is the third in the Julius series of books.

About the Author

Born in Bristol, Barry was educated at the Cathedral School and then read English at St Peter’s College, Oxford. After graduating, he worked in the Civil Service before teaching at a Bristol Secondary School. Thinking he would like a change of career, he later qualified in Law at the University of West of England, but decided to remain in education. He expanded his teaching to include Law as well as English and Drama.

Barry is a keen amateur artist and has illustrated a number of texts for others as well as providing paintings for websites. He has also worked on set design for local drama groups and written several plays, including one musical.

A few years ago he took early retirement to concentrate on writing. Following a trilogy of books for young adults, he started to write action thrillers and ‘Countermeasures’ is the fifth story featuring DCI Charlie Watts and the MI6 agent, Daniel Rankin.
Barry still lives in Bristol where he enjoys spending time with friends, visiting the theatre, gardening and water-colour painting.
