Of Time and Space Marji Hines

200 years in the future, Paleo-Osteologist, Natalie Sauveterre is as much trapped in time as the bones she studies. She does everything to project the message, "Leave me alone," and the world, in its ignorance, complies. Centuries beyond Natalie, a civilization struggles to reverse their declining lifespan. Infant generations lack a specific protein, and older generations are unable to produce or meet current demands. Without a permanent solution, they face extinction. Captain Daniel Hope encounters John MacKinnon, accredited for pioneering DNA restructuring theories. He proposes they find and bring forward this man from the past, believing him to hold the key to their survival. Dr. John Mackinnon holds himself to blame for the death of his wife. Unable to identify the cause of her disease, failure and grief haunt and spiral him downwards. With no interest in moving forward, he seeks absolution each night at the bottom of a bottle, trying to escape painful memories and shame. "Of Time and Space" is the first in this time travel, Sci-Fi series about second chances, hopes and Redemption.
