Boom Time (The Age of the Machine)

Before his adventures in the Legacy series—and many years after he reunited with the living in The Age of the Machine—twenty-four-year-old Pierce Landcross is sent through time and into a new world of trouble.
Bootleggers, coppers, and dirty gangsters rule the streets. It’s Prohibition and parties are wild, liquor flows freely, and danger is never far behind. When Pierce is thrust into the fast-paced future of New York City, 1926, his life takes a sharp turn. His abductor, the Trickster, claims he’s hiding Pierce for his own protection—but safety isn’t what greets him.
Cutthroats and femme fatales lurk around every corner.
Lost in a strange land, Pierce vows to keep his nose clean. That promise doesn’t last long and before he knows it, he’s tangled in the bootlegging racket, forced to adapt to a world of diesel-fueled machines, soaring airships, moving picture shows, and brutal clashes between rival gangs.
And as if that weren’t enough, a relentless hunter—a wild elf woman—from Pierce’s own time, has been sent to hunt him down.
Boom Time is the middle child between the fantasy/steampunk Legacy and The Age of the Machine series. It blends elements of both, yet stands as its own story. If you haven’t read the Legacy series, it’s never too late to start!
