Guild member, Alex Kecskes, has released The Search for Dr. Noble, a sequel to the Healer novel.

Wanting to be with her husband, Rene leaps into Charles’s arms as he is involuntarily swept forward five hundred years into the future. Charles’s time machine is not able to carry two passengers.

Rene is left alone in the past and Charles finds himself temporarily stuck five hundred years in the future. The time machine has malfunctioned and takes weeks to repair.

Rene’s daughter, Rose, has been living in Paris and working with Madame Marie Currie during World War I. The telegraph is down. With no way to reach Rose, Rene, who lives in California, feels she must know that her daughter is safe. In case Charles ever returns, she leaves a note telling where she has gone. Her trip is long.

Finding Rose is safe, Rene joins Rose and Madame Marie Currie in medical research. But an accident exposes mother and daughter to radiation. Dying slow, agonizing deaths, they are sailing home when they give up hope and prepare to jump off the ship.

Will Charles reach Rose and Rene in time to save them with healing technology from the future? The Search for Dr. Noble is a blend of fantasy and historical romance that takes the reader on an often enchanting and other times gripping journey through time as well as across oceans and continents in the 1920s.

We see the author’s vision of a future that includes humans living on the other planets in our solar system.
