Two women...
Two accidents...
Two aftermaths...
Time heals. Can it heal them?

On the planet Verde two scientists develop the Telpher, a machine that will make possible instant communication across lightyears of space. Neither of them knows it has other uses. One of scientists uses the Telpher to get even with the other and learns an unfortunate truth with no apparent remedy. A hidden flaw in the Telpher's human interface might be responsible for entangling the fates of two women who live in different times: an astrobiologist and a starship navigator.

Jana Anders, a 24th century starship navigator copes with her ship's warp drive failure that sends it into the distant past, to an unknown region of the galaxy. A woman she may never know might be able to help, but time is running out for the two to meet.

21st century astrobiologist Sonja Bellesario uses telepathy and radio telescopes to listen for messages from outer space that might help her pursue her destiny in the stars. When a message comes she's not prepared for its consequences.

The two women have one thing in common. For one it's a blessing in disguise; for the other a painful disaster. A hidden flaw in the Telpher's human interface might be responsible for entangling these two women's lives. Will the link be discovered in time? Time travel may have unexpected twists.

Telpher is the first book in a series. The second novel is Copernicium-296. A third novel, Archoi, is in the works.

Reviews of Telpher
________________

"As the first novel from this author I cannot wait to see more. The opening chapter dramatically sets the stage for the unfolding creative and intriguing experience. The characters have a richness and depth and the challenges they face are so gripping it is difficult to put the book down. Eckroad's engineering and scientific background enhances and brings credibility to the space and time transformation aspects underlying the narrative and to the unexpected conclusion." - Alan Lauder, Ph.D., BMA, Executive Director, Coalition for the Commercial Application of Superconductors.

"In the middle of the last century, physicists Albert Einstein and Neils Bohr debated the premise that quantum theory could predict "action at a distance." Einstein labelled the whole idea "spooky." Read Steve Eckroad's Telpher and the interstellar/time-dilated dialogs between Jana, James, Sonja and Sergei, then decide for yourself whether Neils or Albert were right!" - Dr. Paul M. Grant, IBM Research Manager and EPRI Science Fellow, Emeriti.

Reviews of Copernicium-296:
_______________________

"This second book in a series by Steven Eckroad tells about a conceptual future that is different from other science fiction projections. He introduces some novel concepts. Most importantly is the one that telepathy is related to teleportation. The methodology of the Telpher process is nicely woven into a story of politics, greed, and love. The book is an easy read and the story is intriguing." - William V. Hassenzahl, PhD, President Advanced Energy Analysis

"A great sequel to Telpher. Steven has a unique way of integrating just enough astrophysics that makes you pay attention to the science while still weaving an engaging tale. I thoroughly enjoyed the transport." - Chris Valentino, MSPH, COO of Pacific Inpatient Medical Group (Retired)

Author's Note: Telpher: Telepathic Travels in Time was first published in 2018 with a different subtitle (Telpher: a novel of parallel destinies). The new edition has been edited to support its sequel, Copernicium-296. There are no consequential changes to the plot. Both books are stand-alone reads.
