More About Pulp Science Fiction; Why "Timed Out?":

A lot can happen over the span of one hundred and twenty-eight years, especially when it all happens to the same person. Robert is a lonely young man who lives with his mother in a comfortable condominium in the year 2051. He enjoys a somewhat normal existence as a somewhat normal young person, until he pretty much single-handedly ignites World War Two, which ruins his whole day. After that, like the computer application that can’t bring itself to function properly before its allotted time expires, it seems as if both Robert’s past and future have Timed Out.

In his unabashed tribute to the movies, books and magazines from the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s, author Douglas Parker’s Pulp Science Fiction Book One: Timed Out, a fantastic return to the golden age of science fiction, is a coming-of-age adventure story that chronicles what could happen when a simple schoolboy from an eccentric future is physiologically fused with some of the most complicated figures from the troubled past and left to challenge the essential moral and ethical dilemmas of the day.
