'Sergeant Peter Jackson is commanding a troop in Iraq.

'Little does he know but he is about to embark on his strangest adventure yet.

'In the midst of crossfire, he sees a young woman appear out of nowhere in a strange contraption. Sandra's father and grandfather had invented a time machine which she has constructed. She and Peter escape inside her machine. Unbeknownst to them, it sends them back thirty-five thousand years.

'Their attempts to return to the present day are assisted by a cave tribe. In return, Peter and Sandra teach the tribe how to ride, hunt on horseback and fish. They face aggressive animal and human predators and save the lives of four cave women. Peter is alarmed when he realises that, according to tribal custom, they are now his wives.
And when they finally arrive in the present, danger still stalks them.' (Publication summary)

'In the midst of a heated battle during the Vietnam War, Peter Jackson falls into a strange new adventure, where time is just another dimension?

'After dangling precariously from the end of a rope, Peter Jackson, on tour in Vietnam, falls through the air during a failed extraction, legs flailing madly. In the thick of battle at the time, his next, and not so unpleasant recollection is that of falling not to the dark jungle many feet below, but on top of a beautiful young Vietnamese woman on a museum floor.

'Noc had been endeavouring to clean the glass case in which the Uc Dai Loi had been housed for some time, as there was evidence of mould growing, which would not do for the many visitors to the museum to see such a thing. Even though it was one-sided, Noc had developed a relationship with the handsome but unattainable soldier and chatted to him each day from the outside of the glass case.

'Little did she anticipate what would happen next?'(Publication summary)
