Time Shear

Dr. Peter Benchly was a washed-up scientist in a failing private research center in Boston until he stumbled over some unique enhancements to the laws of magnetic physics. Haunted and depressed by the memory of his deceased wife, he reluctantly agrees to use his new technology (a Magnetic Resonance Imager turned Retro-Time Imager) to aid the government. He assists by locating a group of terrorists apparently using similar technology to devastate U.S. military intelligence installations.As he soon finds out, imaging and being there are synonymous with this upgraded technology. From modern day Boston to the streets of old New Orleans in the 18th Century and beyond, Professor Benchly and his young graduate student, Mark Potts, are soon intertwined in a mystery of cosmic proportions. Should he risk changing the past and rescuing his wife from her ill fated plane crash? How does one stop terrorists who apparently control time travel themselves?A blend of high tech and radical plot twists keep the reader immersed in suspense and one step away from the final battle of wits, thanks to one reluctant 'time-cop.'

Dr. Alan Clark is a veteran of the 'ER' since 1976. Presently practicing at a high volume trauma center in the Midwest, Dr. Clark is currently assisting as an associate editor for a national forensic science review. He served as an assistant professor of surgery at the Medical College of Georgia in 1988 and 1989. Dr. Clark wrote Time Shear between 1987 and 1989 after an idea about combining time travel technology with present day news events. Since the book was written, many similar themes emerged in the media, such as Quantum Leap and Time Cop, all with a similar flavor and integrated style. Other works by Dr. Clark include 'Wish Christmas,' a favorite story and song that has been made available to view and enjoy through his Internet site (ERWorld.com).
