J. L. Pattison - Episode 16
Agent Sherard Parker never expected to get caught.   His first reconnaissance mission with the DEA was supposed to be simple: infiltrate a small South Pacific island and gather intelligence about its involvement in the international drug trade.   But when Parker stumbles upon a hidden airliner reportedly shot down weeks earlier—an act of terrorism that sparked a war—he realizes the island is more than just home to a major drug operation, it's also part of a conspiracy so evil it could lead to World War III.   After being captured, Parker is forced to abandon his original mission for a far more important one: escape from the island and return to his family.   Can Parker lead an eclectic band of prisoners in a daring life-or-death escape from their tropical prison, or will those in charge of protecting the island prevail, keeping its dark secrets forever?

Steven J Pemberton - First Chapter Episode 13
Sam Grainger, rocket scientist, gets a phone call from his wife Jennie one evening. Which would be perfectly normal if she hadn't been dead for over a year.   Sam's convinced the call is a hoax, but before he can find out anything more, a much larger mystery presents itself - parts of the world have started to vanish, and Sam is asked to join a team to investigate.   Once he's reunited with Jennie, Sam learns that the world isn't what he thought it was - and neither are he and she. Worse, some very ruthless people are determined to make sure the secret doesn't go any further.   Racing to stay one step ahead of their enemies, Sam and Jennie learn that the key to mending the holes in the world may be the spaceship they worked on before Jennie died.

Michael Ronson - First Chapter Episode 9
Time. What is time? Why is time? How is time? When is time? Also, what is time?   Important questions one and all, but for Captain Space Hardcore- intergalactic adventurer, full-time hero, raconteur, accomplished oboist- there is a more pressing question: how do you fight a time traveling madman who wants to end your life? How does one fight a man who can bend time as easily as a chimpanzee bends a hose (i.e- quite easily)? How can you stop a man who can transport back to find you as an infant, then fire you into the sun? How to best a villain who can wipe out your great grandfather? Or worse, your great-grandfather’s great-grandfather?!   If you’re Captain Space Hardcore then the answer is simple: punch him in his big smartarse face. But the journey of face-punchery will be a treacherous one. From the Ripper-addled streets of Victorian London, to the high-tech super prison deep in the heart of the future, the quest for Professor Tempus will rip the Captain and his trusty manservant Ebenezer Funkworthy through all of the time/space continuum and beyond in a thrilling adventure that critics are already calling “not fit for review. Please stop emailing us.”   So if you have the wit and the fortitude to come on this journey of temporal twisting tension and clock-blocking thrills then waste not a second longer, dear reader, and dive into the time travelling trousers of Professor Tempus!   "A towering achievement.
