    About this series

    "Possibly the best ending to a book I have ever read" Our Book Reviews Online

    Fraud, betrayal, drugs, love. Time-travel.

    That's a lot for Tony Cole to deal with.

    If you could travel back in time, you'd win the lottery, right? If only it were that easy. Even time-travel has to obey some rules, but as nobody seems to have written them down, Tony is going to have to work them out for himself. And he doesn't always get it right.

    On the surface of it, his family is perfect, but scratch away the glossy coating and you'll find a family on the edge of disaster. Tony can try to fix all this, but every time he plasters over one hole, he uncovers another. Faced with his brother's betrayal he has to decide whether his life is worth saving, but even one death can have far-reaching consequences.

    A thriller in the mould of Dean Koontz's Odd Thomas which will keep you guessing right to the last page.

      You can't expect to mess around with time without consequences. Tony Cole thought he was doing the right thing, thought he understood the rules, but he made one small mistake and now he's paying for it. Trapped in an unresponsive body, he can see, hear and feel but he can't communicate. His mind is active, his body isn't. Meanwhile, there are other victims of Tony's time-travelling. These unfortunates were caught in the ripple-effect of Tony's actions. When he saved a life he condemned an innocent victim to a coma-like state similar to the one in which he exists. But Tony can still help these unfortunates. While his body may be immobile, he can travel through a ethereal parallel world and then it's a simple matter of guiding them back to their life. Except it's never that simple. Some don't want to be helped and some are violent. Will Tony be able to help them all, and will that be the key to getting back to his own life? And if he doesn't... what then?

      Tony Cole is dead. And he's not very happy about it. But just because he's dead, doesn't mean his life is over. Or does it? The final part of the Cole Trilogy (The Long Second, Broken) takes a different view of life-after-death and the effects on those left behind.

    Author

    Marshall Buckley

    Marshall Buckley lives near London, UK and in Newfoundland, Canada. At the same time. He has a total of five children, three dogs, five cats and some small fish. These numbers change regularly. He is not as tired as you might imagine because he achieves all this by being two people. In March 2009 an innocent-looking Facebook post stated "I've an idea for a book, who wants to help me write it?" and, after a flurry of posts and emails, Marshall Buckley was born; very soon after, the result (which bears only a passing resemblance to that original idea) was The Long Second. The sequel, Broken, followed a few months later. The final part of the trilogy - Chronostasis - was published in March 2013. Playing Adam's Game is not part of the trilogy. Only Douglas Adams is allowed a trilogy of more than three parts. Work on the next book is well underway, though it has no definitive schedule. Its current title (which may change) is "The Dreams In Which I'm Dying".
