BLACK ALICE is at first a reluctant time traveller. In SONS OF STEEL BOOK 1, he accidentally travels time after being dematerialised into a hologram and then trapped inside a holographic projector only to be unwittingly released 113 years later. It is a post apocalyptic world of mutated monsters, barbarians and disease. In this dark future he struggles to find a way back to his own time to save the world from the destruction that had caused the apocalypse. Against all odds he succeeds but the process has left his body with an unsound molecular structure, and after only a matter of hours back in his own time, he dematerialises again, this time slipping through a wormhole into yet another indeterminate future: this time 2087.
