Throwback

Time travel is not for people who aren't willing to attempt it.Take Connor O'Mara. An easy-going twenty-one-year-old with a decent job as an auto mechanic, he has plenty of friends and very few worries. There's no reason why he would ever decide to simply walk away from that life.Unfortunately, the decision isn't his to make. Undertaking a search for the girl he loves, who's gone missing, Con stumbles upon a strange natural phenomenon deep in the forest where she'd been hiking. Losing consciousness, he awakens to find that he's a hundred miles from where he'd been...and has somehow been sent back in time, to the year 1970. Something that only ever happens in science fiction novels has now become his unfathomable reality.And he's stuck there. Wracking his brain, Con comes up with only one feasible survival plan: to connect with the family of his Irish immigrant great-uncle, living in New Jersey, who'd helped raise him. And he'll have to take on the role of a long-lost Irish cousin who - unlike himself - actually existed in 1970. He needs a place to eat and sleep. And a legitimate identity.Getting in the door and being invited to stay with the Flannery family during his "e;American holiday"e; buys Con - now, "e;Cousin Liam"e; - the time to try to relocate the time portal. It's as he begins to become enmeshed in the lives of these now-much-younger relatives who he'd known so well in the 21st century, however, that things begin to get sticky.Very sticky...First book of The Liam Flannery Chronicle series.
