When it all goes sideways, they keep going on.

Everything goes wrong when the first research expedition from the future lands in the summer of 2000 in New York City. The master time-travel device is destroyed, the professor in charge is killed, and the rest of the travelers are scattered across that ancient metropolis. They're stranded in the past, their project in shambles from the start, and their troubles are only beginning…

Research Assistant Samantha finds her team leader just in time to witness one of her colleagues kill him—and she's the only person in a position to bring the murderer to justice. Mugged on a sidewalk in the middle of the day, Team Leader Page finds help from a native of the era, but graduate physics student Matt Walker proves too curious about her—and her watch—for comfort. And after seeing her mentor die before her eyes, Team Leader Anya struggles to salvage something from the disaster, starting with rounding up the rest of the travelers—not knowing even that much has already become an impossible task. Or that circumstances are conspiring to put her in very personal peril…

Watchbearers Book 1. The adventures continue with Book 2: Centenary Separation, Book 3: Uncertain Murder, Book 4: Prohibited Activities, and Book 5: Temporal Entanglement.
