A novel translated from Arabic, written by Egyptian novelist Ashraf Aboul-Yazid

«De nada nos sirve un pueblo enteramente libre pero plagado de males... » El garrote chocó contra la última barra de la celda y el guardia se alejó con parsimonia por el pasillo. Un suspiro general salió de la boca de los cinco, elevándose por sobre el correr del río, al ver que el peligro de ser descubiertos había pasado. Estaba hecho. Tocayo sacó el papel que había arrugado y escondido en su bolsillo, haciendo una mueca cuando las llagas de sus manos tocaron la tela de la camisa. Releyó una y otra vez lo escrito, como embelesado, a pesar de la oscuridad; buscaba, tal vez, responder a la pregunta que se cernía sobre todos ellos. ¿Sería eso suficiente? Ninguno aspiraba al puesto de Simón Bolívar, ninguno deseaba galardones; escribiendo aquello, hacían un único ruego: que no se olvidasen de ellos, que no se olvidasen de aquellos presos. Sin embargo, pronto descubrirían que sí evocaría a la memoria, pero no a la de un pueblo, no a la de la historia. El papel, su denuncia, evocaría en ellos mismos los recuerdos de la libertad. En una noche de maraqueo, se permitirían dejar por un momento sus sobrenombres y abrir el cofre que a fuerza habían cerrado, para evitar la dolorosa nostalgia.

Time machines have been said to break the course of reality as we know it. Yet no such theories have ever been proven true. Time and space have forever been such broad subjects and ones that have never evolved past the mass amounts of theories and predictions we have layed upon it.

Meaning that while these warnings will be subconsciously present in our minds, this is no way halts the human desire to discover. Discovery is exactly what happens.

The year is 1952 and the country is in recovery. New discoveries are being made every day, and science is bringing the country back. With the discovery of tachomytes, an energy rich mineral scientifically named Tachomythium, and X-G5, a mutagenic compound, the country is about 40 years ahead of its time.

Or will he go on a rampage across Japan?

"Antiquities of Furness", first published in 1769 purports to give the definitive History of this region of England from the Stone Age to the middle of the eighteenth century. Many of the connections made, and explanations given, in this book now seem implausible and in some cases even hilarious. "The Drustone " is a fictional story, based on material from this source. A lot of it is true. It is up to you, the discerning reader, to distinguish fact from fabrication. I think it only right to apologise to Mr.Robinson, Mr.Malloy and Miss Cottam, my former History teachers, who would undoubtedly squirm at the version of Furness' past espoused in this tale.
