What exactly did Carl Freund see in the Washington Metrorail station that day in 2016? A stranger steps out of where to save the life of a woman one could possibly kw was about to end, dropping a photograph that couldn't possibly exist. So begins Freund's quest to determine who the woman is and how a startup research company struggling to make time travel a reality plays into the mystery of the event. In Fred E. Doepke's first vel, he explores time travel to the future and past, providing a thought provoking, unique perspective on time travel and the very nature of time, itself. Spanning 63 years - from 2016 to 2079 - Cold Time is a richly interwoven story of one man's quest to follow his lover into the future and ather man's forced exile into the past. It is a story of a genius on the edge, a self-absorbed Director, a convict seeking revenge and two pairs of lovers. All are searching for answers in the world of Cold Time, a world in which thing happens without cause.
