The Heidelberg Conundrum

by Keith Girard

Overview

Michael is a down-on-his-luck college professor until he lands what appears to be a dream job at an elite East-Coast institute. But he faces an impossible job-solve the Heidelberg Conundrum, a theory postulated 400 years ago that's defied answers. Some believe it holds the key to time travel, including sinister forces that will stop at nothing to unlock its secrets. It's a story of self-discovery, danger and ultimately a trip through time to a far darker period in history. It involves mystery, intrigue, deceit and, ultimately, the intertwining of two distant worlds across space and time. Think "Raiders of the Lost Ark" meets "The DaVinci Code" with a science fiction twist.

"A terrifically trippy read. Keith Girard has put together a wild story with a great cast of characters. A wild time-tripping ride."
-- Micky Dolenz, actor, musician (The Monkees), avid sci-fi fan

book jacket - Micky Dolenz

Keith Girard has delivered a time travelling romp that is chock full of great characters (like Simon!) and some fascinating intrigue. I'd love to see this on the big screen. Excellent work!

I don't usually like time travel, but this is a good twist on history. I hope the story continues and we learn more about the alien Elements.
