When Claire Hilyer receives a mysterious letter and package from her best friend Tony, she thinks it an unexpected romantic gesture. Then she learns Tony sent it over twenty-five years ago, before his birth. Intrigued, Claire visits Tony's house. She arrives in time to see him fighting a stranger, and a moment later, they vanish before her eyes into the past.
Tony's package - a diary electronically forged from his thoughts - is a cry for help from 2017 to Claire. He must learn to survive without money, family or friends in an era before his birth. Meanwhile, a deadly enemy craves Tony's invention - a time travelling device - for his own deadly purposes and stalks him from the past and the future.
Can Claire save Tony and bring him home before time runs out?
Bootstrap's Journey is a tale of fantastic hope, danger and romance as Tony finds himself embroiled in his personal history, a timeline he mustn't change despite his inner urges.
--- From Goodreads Reader, Blair Denholm:
"Chris Johnson has done something I never thought possible: set a science fiction story in central Queensland. Oh yeah, and written a fun, frolicking and fabulous tale about a man's journey through time.
As per the label on the box, the author does as promised and eschews "sciencey" jargon; where he does delve into the scientific, he makes those elements relevant and understandable. In short, he has delivered a pacy, page-flipper of a tale. The hook at the end has me itching for the next installment.
With Bootstrap's Journey, Johnson has delivered a story that will engage readers of all ages and tastes."
