Free (Kindle) Bound in Time by D. F. Jones [Sci-Fi Time Travel Future World Journey]

[ATDrake]

Bound in Time by the late Cornwall-resident author D. F. Jones (ISFDB, Wikipedia), a WWII naval commander who ended up writing a bunch of sfnal technothrillers with man vs. machine themes, one of which was adapted into a film with Canadian actor Gordon Pinsent (Fraser's father on Due South) in it (Wikipedia), is his posthumously-published science fiction time travel journey of self-discovery thriller, starring a man who signs up for an experiment and begins duly leaping through space and time and encountering future civilizations which are considerably less utopian than one would hope and the obligatory life lessons thereof, only to yearn to return to a home he may no longer be able to access, free courtesy of publisher Endeavour Press's Venture imprint, who are e-printing it from its original 1982 paperback from Granada.

Currently free @ Amazon (available to Canadians & in the UK and probably pretty much everywhere else they sell worldwide, since this is being done via the KDP Select exclusive-or-else program)

Description (I like the way the blurb invokes another landmark sci-fi cultural reference as lead-in marketing copy for this one's title)
Lost in Space...

Bound in Time.

Dr. Mark Elver can only stare at the man sitting across from him. Joe Heimblatt has just proposed the impossible – time travel.

However, after viewing the successful tests and experiments, Mark is strangely tempted by the possibility. Recently diagnosed with a heart condition that reduces his life expectancy to a couple years, he agrees to be the first human guinea pig and jump more than 400 years into the future.

The future can only be an improvement. New technology may mean a way to save his life. Or if not, at least he gets to travel and experience something new before he leaves.

After arriving, Mark finds the future to be a strange and dangerous place. He encounters primitive children among sophisticated technology. The dangers of the future Earth haven’t even begun to reveal themselves…

After being whisked into space by a strange people, he discovers a rather soporific society living, self-contained, on a space station. Upon learning that Joe has followed him into the future, Mark follows in his steps and makes his way to the people living on the Moon.

Though Mark hated how the station was run, he quickly discovers that life on the Moon is dangerous; trading no leadership for a dictatorship was not beneficial.

Will he be able to return to Earth?

In Bound in Time, Mark learns about human nature, survival and passion in a brilliantly prophetic and timeless journey. This suspenseful story gives readers a gut-wrenching look at a possible future and what happens when humanity pushes too far.
