A dangerous fraud of universal proportions.
The hoax proposed to John Baird by a two-bit con man in a seedy Key West bar was shady but potentially profitable. With little left to lose, the struggling, middle-aged Hemmingway shcolar agreed to forge a manuscript and pass it off as Papa's lost masterpiece. But Baird never realized his actions would shatter the history of his own Earth...and others. And now the unsuspecting academic is trapped out of time - propelled through a series of grim parallel worlds...and pursued by an interdimensional hitman with a literary license to kill.
