BUT THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A TIME MACHINE . . . Inventor Dr. Angus McAran, born brilliant but deformed, had as little use for other people as they had for him. Until the day he met the Neanderthal... and Angus discovered that he had destiny, one he wasn't sure he wanted. Turns out Angus had invented a time machine. Well, not yet, but soon, any day now. He'd also founded and led a secret time-traveling organization. That's why the Neanderthal was here - to make sure Angus' life went according to plan. Well, that and to protect him from rival time organizations trying to assassinate Angus before he could invent his time machine. But Angus wasn't sure he wanted ANY of this - and didn't like taking orders, even from himself. Was his destiny inescapable? Or could he turn his back on all of it and lead a simple, safe life? One thing was certain: no matter what, Angus was going to find out! This novella is the origin story of Doc Angus and his time-traveling organization, GRIPE, from Christopher Stasheff's Warlock of Gramarye series. NOTE: Although the hardcover is a collection of Stasheff's short stories, this ebook contains only the novella Mind Out of Time and the GRIPE short story King John's Treasure.

Autorenporträt
Christopher Stasheff (1944-2018) was a teacher, thespian, techie, and author of science fiction & fantasy novels. One of the pioneers of "science fantasy," his career spaned four decades, 44 novels (including translations into Czech, German, Italian, Russian, and Japanese), 29 short stories, and seven 7 anthologies. His novels are famous for their humor (and bad puns), exploration of comparative political systems, and philosophical undertones. He has always had difficulty distinguishing fantasy from reality and has tried to compensate by teaching college. When teaching proved too real, he gave it up in favor of writing full time. He tends to pre-script his life, but can't understand why other people never get their lines right. This causes a fair amount of misunderstanding with his wife and four children. He writes novels because it's the only way he can be the director, the designer, and all the actors too. Chris died in 2018 from Parkinson's Disease. He will be remembered by his friends, family, fans, and students for his kind and gentle nature, and for his witty sense of humor. His terrible puns, however, will be forgotten as soon as humanly possible.
