Best friends as kids. Enemies as adults.
It’s July 16, 1969. In New Jersey, two boys, Splendid and his best friend Eric, built a water-powered rocket for Splendid to blast off and join the Apollo astronauts on their journey to the moon.
In 1987, ex-astronaut Splendid returns home to find Eric, now a wealthy businessman, seeking revenge for betraying him. With plans to kill him, Eric’s weapon is an alien time machine he discovered. He transports Splendid to the year 2022 to drown in the ocean off the coast of Iceland. He is rescued. Eric perseveres, banishing Splendid to multiple timelines where he survives every attempt on his life, finding his way back to 2022.
Desperate, Eric believes he’s finally found the perfect solution—sending Splendid (and the woman who has helped him) 65 million years into the past as dinner for the dinosaurs.
What did Splendid do to make his best friend want to kill him? Will he make it back home to 1987? Find out in The Adventures of Splendid Forsythe: Time Travelers Never Die.
