Man on the Isle of Jura (Of Gods, Royals & Superman)
Christopher Reed is with his family in an SUV in California when a devastating earthquake hits. His wife and daughter are killed, and Christopher plunges into the Pacific Ocean. However, before he knows it, he is drowning in the Atlantic Ocean on the Isle of Jura outside of Scotland in 1948. The village where Christopher arrives on the Isle of Jura is like many villages may have been in 1948—except some of its inhabitants are telepathic and some can see the future. Jack Wilson, who rescues Christopher from the ocean, can do both. Jack soon joins Christopher on an important mission to make sure a world-changing book is published, despite operatives from another timeline trying to erase it from existence. This is the second book in the Of Gods, Royals, and Superman series. It can be read as a standalone.
This interesting book combines historical fiction with time travel and magical realism in a most unique way. The extrasensory abilities of the villagers, time portals in 1948, and mythical creatures all make sense in this fantastical novel that reminds us of the importance of great literary works and the magnitude of their impact on history. The characters are well developed, and the action flows from one fantastical event to another. Fans of literature, time travel and magical realism will enjoy this historical nod to an important novel.
