Time Rep : Continuum

Imagine you've just been told you're the most insignificant person who's ever lived. A nobody. Somebody less important to the world than certain types of mushroom. Not very nice, is it? That's exactly what happens to Geoffrey Stamp after a man from the year 3050 asks him to become a "Time Rep"--A tour guide for the 21st Century, meeting people from the future who travel back through time for their vacations. You see, Time Reps need to be insignificant. Otherwise, when you go back in time and interfere with their destiny, the space-time continuum has a bit of a fit. AND we wouldn't want that. BUT when Geoffrey uncovers a conspiracy to change the course of history, he is sent on a mind-bending adventure through time and space involving an imaginary lake, a talking seagull, dinosaurs, aliens, the Great Fire of London, and the discovery that he might not be as insignificant as people thought .. The world’s most insignificant person is the perfect fit for a very odd job . . . that just might require him to save time and space as we know it. Geoffrey Stamp has always had a bit of a self-esteem problem. But it doesn’t help to be told that he’s in fact the most inconsequential human being who’s ever lived. Or that even certain types of mushrooms have more significance in the order of things. Or that Geoffrey is the perfect definition of a nobody. And all this from a complete stranger no less. A stranger who claims to have dropped in from the year 3050 to offer Geoffrey, precisely because of his outsized irrelevance, a job too good to be true. As a Time Rep, Geoffrey will be a vacation tour guide to the twenty-first century, showing wide-eyed tourists from the future all the sights and sounds of our quaint, archaic millennium. But when Geoffrey uncovers a conspiracy to change the course of history, he is sent on a mind-bending adventure through time and space involving an imaginary lake, a talking seagull, dinosaurs, aliens, the Great Fire of London, and the discovery that he might not be as insignificant as people thought. “Peter Ward’s Time Rep is a quick, entertaining read and proves, once and for all, there just might be a reason to play video games for hours on end.” —SFFWORLD
