Touchstone Season 1 is a haunting timeslip saga that has won rave reviews from young and old readers alike with its intelligent blend of time travel, science fiction and historical fantasy.
In a small corner of an English city, dirt poor Rachel Hines and rich kid Danny Pearce are a pair of History students whose destinies become entangled when an old gravestone catapults them into their city’s dark past – a gritty, violent, gaslit world of real danger – where they find that every action has an unforeseen consequence that can ripple through generations, and that some characters from the past have seen them before. This Box Set edition contains all six novels in Touchstone Season 1, comprising over a quarter of a million words, and 1000 pages in the original paperback editions.
Genre: Fiction > Sci-Fi/Fantasy
1. The Sins of the Fathers
One touch… and you’re who knows when? In a small corner of Birmingham, England, a pair of mismatched History students from opposite sides of the tracks find their lives thrown together when an old gravestone catapults them back into their neighbourhood’s dark Edwardian past, where they have just three days to prevent the murder of a teenage girl.
In 1912, they find that every action has an unforeseen consequence that can ripple through generations… and that some characters from the past have seen them before.
2. Family at War
Who are the enemies among us? As every night the German bombs rain down, a love stirs that will span a hundred years. A moving novel which packs an exciting mix of time travel, historical adventure, mystery and the beginnings of what builds to a memorable love story over the series of books…
Dealing with the catastrophic fallout of her previous encounter with Amy Parker in 1912, Rachel now finds herself pitted against Danny during the Second World War in Birmingham.
But she has a mysterious ally in the shape of Charlie. A dashing young lieutenant who knows everything about her and her mission to get her life back.
As every night the Blitz fills the sky with fire, as every night the German bombs rain down, and as every morning the people of this quiet corner of an English city clear up the horrifying aftermath and count the dead, a hesitant friendship blooms. And the first stirrings of a romance that will span a hundred years.
3. All the Time in the World
Baby baby baby, you’re out of time? The time travel saga goes into the Swinging Sixties, wins the World Cup and gets tied up with some nasty gangsters.
Rachel, lost and alone in 2012, travels back to 1966 Birmingham to repair her lost timeline with the help of Charlie, now 50 years old but still in love with her. Their hesitant romance blossoms to the music of the Swinging Sixties, while Birmingham is being rebuilt and England host the football World Cup.
But Danny is there too, and the World Cup betting sting he’s carrying out on the city’s bookies brings them all to the attention of a local gangster, a corrupt politician, a cop with a grudge and a group of mysterious time travellers out to stop the past being changed.
4. Station at the End of Time
If your nightmares seem so real, is your life the dream? A haunted train station in 1959, a freight train with a mysterious cargo and a young woman determined to throw herself in front of it…
Rachel miraculously finds herself back at home in the present with her father but suffering a recurring nightmare of being trapped on Kings Heath station in 1959, trying to prevent her maternal grandmother, Deirdre Foster, committing suicide…
As more and more characters from her time-travelling past intrude on both her too perfect waking world and her nightmares, she begins to wonder which world is real… leading to a terrifying battle to hold onto her own sanity…
5. Let’s Fall in Love for the Last Time
It’s murder on the dance floor… Rachel finds herself in 1934, where she must help Charlie stage a concert featuring renowned Jewish crooner Benny Orphan and an all-black swing orchestra. If the concert doesn’t happen, Mrs Hudson’s life will be wiped out. And Mrs Hudson is the only person who can help Rachel get her own life back.
But Danny is there too, with his own agenda. And a group of murderous Blackshirts are determined to make sure the concert doesn’t happen.
As swing fans, nazis, communists and time travellers do battle on the dance floor, Rachel finds that it’s not always clear who’s an ally and who’s an enemy. Especially when disturbing new powers emerging from both her and Danny threaten to tear the city apart.
6. Fade to Grey
Rachel makes a final journey to the past to make sure her mother, Lorna Foster, and father, Martyn Hines, have their fateful first kiss at a sweaty Ultravox gig in 1980. But Esther Parker is also making a play for Martyn, and if their romance is kindled, Rachel will never be born.
She’s also up against Danny and Kath, two enemies with growing superpowers, and Rachel’s own disturbing inner fire threatens to cut her off from her old life forever. Can she be the simple village girl she longs to be, or must she accept that she might be a goddess?
