Gravestone ~ A Suspense Novel of Time Travel

Two college athletes are recruited to time travel for wealthy men‘s selfish gain, resulting in intriguing events. A group of elderly millionaires, known as The Chamber, discovered time travel and decided to use it solely for their own selfish preservation. The original premise was to travel into the future, read gravestones to learn about these men‘s deaths, then use that knowledge to prevent their deaths. However, they end up going back in time instead. Initially, Chamber member Daniel Cooper goes back to 1971 to save his wife from an ill-fated airliner that crashed in the Pacific Northwest. In a bizarre twist, DB Cooper ends up saving the plane by hijacking it. The Chamber moves on experimenting to alter history at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941; followed by the 1963 Kennedy assassination, with a twist that throws new light on the conspiracy theories. They quickly discover that you cannot change history, however your actions can cause the historical event to happen. They also discover that time travel stops aging, provided you can stay alive! Finally, in an eerie graveyard, the future to uncover the fate of those who sent them there by examining the writing on their gravestones, is accomplished. The events reveal unforeseen outcomes.
