Time Tripper Summary
| Time Tripper is a time-travel story set in a world where people travel through time and space as easily as we roll up the onramp and onto the freeway. Ben Svenson is the protagonist, a college-aged man on modern, third-millennia Earth. He hitchhikes with a time-traveler named Gerard and is launched into a totally new universe of trippers--people who live anywhere they want in the future or the past. Gerard has stolen an important time secret, planning to sell it to the Kyg, insectile aliens that share Time with humans. Gerard strands Ben on the local time station where he meets Sylvia, a policewoman hunting for Gerard and a host of others. They purchase a vehicle from a local used timecraft lot and set off to find Gerard and the stolen secrets. Traveling from place to place in the cosmos, Ben is threatened by the insectile aliens, an insane cyborg ship and mutants from Earth's future. Throughout he is followed and harassed by repo men attempting to reclaim his timeship. Ben starts out confused and alone, a Downtimer (a primitive from the past) caught up in the world of the trippers. Although he has discovered a universe much bigger than he had ever dreamed of previously, Ben learns fast and becomes an experienced tripper. By the conclusion of the book, he is instrumental in averting a war between the humans and the Kyg. |
