This is the new one, the big one, the one I’ve been getting up at 5am for over the past year to finally finish the thing.
Nina never saw it coming.
Not the time machine her megalomaniac PhD advisor was working on, not the prospect of trading places with Benjamin Franklin, and definitely not being stuck in the year 1763 with nothing but the shirt on her back and an iPad with a nearly dead battery. Can she stay alive long enough to make the switch back after three days?
Meanwhile, Benjamin Franklin is having an outrageously good time exploring the year 2026: how does the inventor of the Post Office, the modern fire station, and the battery react to a world full of Tesla cars, the internet, and Starbucks?
But – nature throws additional curveballs at them, threatening the chances that Benjamin and Nina can return to their original times. Benjamin Franklin still has a lot to teach society, and that many of his lessons learned (as drawn from his autobiography) still ring true, just as they did 260 years ago. Nina has to rely on her grit, her knowledge of “coffee to-go”, and her engineering prowess to design and build her way out of 1763 and back to 2026.
