Lock & Key

When Darren Ault meets a friend for dinner, he doesn''t expect the second course to be a gunshot to the head. Even more unexpected is the fact that the bullet doesn''t kill him-instead, it causes the rest of humanity to vanish. Darren''s attempted murder has caused a temporal paradox extending back over a thousand years, and now it''s up to him to repair the damage.

Embarking on a mind-bending journey through time, Darren encounters Vikings, a depressed Norwegian silversmith, a cult that believes in salvation through pain, a beautiful Hebridean lass, and Archibald Fischer-the foul-mouthed, Kurt Cobain-worshiping Head Librarian of the Library of Timelines, where all of the possibilities that could ever happen are catalogued, tracked, and managed.
