Best friends as kids. Enemies as adults. What happened?
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. (Didn’t go as planned.)
In 1987, ex-astronaut Splendid returns home to find Eric, now a wealthy businessman, seeking revenge. 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, sending Splendid to multiple timelines where he escapes every attempt on his life. (Even in 16th-century Spain, he finds his way back to 2022.) Desperate, Eric believes he’s found the perfect destination with no hope of survival for Splendid and the woman who has helped him—feeding them to 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.
