Charlie’s Trips

A young outcast from a lost past... with memories of the future... CHARLIE’S TRIPS!

A freak tornado sweeps through an area of the deep Midwest and snatches up a teenage soldier, Charlie Bradshaw, who’s hurled into space-time and ends up 21 years later, on the West Coast, off San Francisco. He’s found on a beach, alive but unconscious, with his uniform on but no ID.

As he emerges from a 3-day coma, he has a vision and prediction: another disaster, a big earthquake. But he doesn’t know he’s on camera. Of course he doesn’t know either about the different times and place. There are many other things he’s still unaware of, especially about himself...

This is The Wizard of Oz Back to the Future! For his first novel in English, French author Jack Felson plays with several literary and cinematic myths as he introduces us to a new kind of character, able to see into the future when he lost his past. And delivers a quick, forward-looking time-travel adventure tale that is simple and full of twists and turns in the same time. The result is humorous and gripping, the best combination for high-level entertainment.

Jack Felson is a French, bilingual writer and filmmaker, born in 1970. He started writing in 1995 and published two collections of short stories, ＂After AIDS＂ (2002) in France, and ＂Four＂ (2006) in the United States. ＂Charlie’s Trips＂ is his first published novel.
