In The Slip
Format: Paperback
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Dive into the first science fiction novel by the award-winning, internationally bestselling author of The Pathways Tree series. F. D. Lee brings you a fast-paced time-travel mystery set in a future that appears perfect and a past that killed the world.
There are three rules to corporate time travel:
Do not deviate from the assignment brief.
Do not stop taking the pills.
Do not, under any circumstances, hook up with someone from the past.
Unfortunately, Kong missed the memo. All hell is about to break loose...
Kong is the leading Trans-Temporal Copyright Protection officer, charged with policing the past to protect mega-corporations in the future. After all, without them, the human race would have perished when the world burned. The corporations provide domed cities to live in, clean water and recycled air, farm-fresh food delivered directly to your door, shopping malls, instant credit, and personalized advertising experiences.
Sure, some things might have been lost along the way, but what other option is there? The planet's dead, the seeds of its destruction planted too deeply, too far back, for even Kong to rectify. And why bother - it's not like the folk in the past weren't warned about what was happening. They had their chance to save the world over and over again, and they blew it.
Then Kong meets Joe, a mysterious tempo-terrorist who claims that the past isn't doomed and the future can be rewritten. Who seems to know more about Kong's life than Kong knows himself. Who lies and tricks and pretends to love him. Now Kong must decide whether to trust Joe and the strange connection they share, and he needs to decide quickly because, for once, time is running out...
