<p>Bassett Clark&rsquo;s bar is empty, along with his future, and his bank account. He wants more out of his monotone life, but isn&rsquo;t willing to change. His nondescript bar is struggling. His girlfriend, a Dachshund-loving, would be novelist, is eager to move their relationship forward. His best friend, a quirky chef, urges him to spice up his menu. But Bassett can&rsquo;t think outside the takeout box, let alone wrap his head around the idea of mixing chicken with peanut sauce.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, bills are piling up, and Bassett could lose everything. Renaming his establishment &ldquo;time travelers&rsquo; rally point,&rdquo; Bassett, his girlfriend, and his bestie jazz up the d&eacute;cor with eclectic items. Soon, &ldquo;ttrp&rdquo; becomes a time travel themed bar and restaurant, and business improves. But as soon as the old bar gains new life, unsettling events unfold.<br />
<br />
Cryptic text messages show up on Bassett&rsquo;s phone. Strange patrons arrive, some in odd period attire, others with curious patterns, and almost all with peculiar behavior. A toolbox full of money appears. But when a customer is murdered inside the locked bar after hours, things begin to unravel.<br />
<br />
Suddenly, this meat and potatoes guy is thrust into an exotic jaunt through time, and a quest to find something he didn&rsquo;t know he&rsquo;d lost. Along the way, KGB spies, police investigations, international criminals, secret researchers, and H.G. Wells join the fusion of unexplained coincidences.<br />
<br />
Time Travelers&rsquo; Rally Point by Justin Mitson is a tasty journey through comfort zones. The reader, and characters, will question whether each day is a flashback, a premonition, or something else entirely. It isn&rsquo;t until Bassett literally comes face to face with his future, and his past, that things begin to come into focus. Sort of.<br />
