There Was No Sound of Thunder

What if your great new job had dire consequences for space-time integrity?Fresh out of college and unsure what's next, Taylor has lucked into a cushy job in human resources. Most companies keep costs down by outsourcing and off-shoring. Taylor's bosses are different. They're committed to staying "100% MADE IN AMERICA"-by bringing in cheap labor using a time portal. But their latest batch of "New Guys" aren't like the others. They're younger, and skinnier, and only speak Yiddish. Taylor is no hero, but he's definitely not a Nazi. Helping these guys seems like a no-brainer. Unfortunately, the more Taylor tries to fix the world, the worse it gets. Now he's tangled up with dishonest bosses, domestic terrorists, meth dealers, the "Problem of Too Many Hitlers," and threats to space-time integrity. Can Taylor find a way back to a life he actually wants to live? A new novel from the award-winning author of This Place is Best Shunned and There Was a Crooked Man, He Flipped a Crooked House."The movie pitch to the Sci-Fi Channel would be Breaking Bad meets Connie Willis's The Doomsday Book. If this all sounds a bit grim it is anything but. Like Breaking Bad this has a strong streak of black humour running through it and is very entertaining.♥♥♥+"-SF Magazines"The big pleasure of this story is watching all the pieces come together.
