Charlie's Trips

By Jack Felson

HE LOST HIS PAST. HE REMEMBERS THE FUTURE.

What if The Wizard of Oz actually was a paranormal, time-travel story?

A freak tornado sweeps through an area of the deep Midwest and snatches up a teenage soldier, Charlie Bradshaw, who's hurled into space-time and ends up 21 years later, on the West Coast. He's found on a San Francisco beach, alive but unconscious, with his uniform on but no ID.

As he emerges from a 3-day coma, he has a vision and prediction: another disaster, a big earthquake. But he doesn't know he's on camera. Of course he doesn't know either about the different times and place. There are many other things he's still unaware of, especially about himself...

This is The Wizard of Oz Back to the Future For his first novel in English, French author Jack Felson plays with several literary and cinematic myths as he introduces us to a new kind of character, able to see into the future when he lost his past. And delivers a quick, forward-looking time-travel adventure tale that is simple and full of twists and turns in the same time. The result is humorous and gripping, the best combination for high-level entertainment.

"An enjoyable time-travel thriller, with an exciting climax. Felson manages the increasing pace and momentum of his fairly simple plot with a good deal of readable prose, eventually rolling out a series of unpredictable turns that play human drama against the backdrop of looming natural catastrophe." - Kirkus Reviews

"If you have the right sense of humor, you're definitely in for a treat. The sheer absurdity of the book will have you laughing. Felson's knack for bringing a scene to life will have you rolling. Once he stops focusing on trying to write and actually just tells the story, this book becomes a gem." - Minding Spot

"A truly astonishing book, from a writer whose prose and style could set as the new Will Self. Come on, Random House, you need a hit, publish this." - Popbitch, 2012
