A quarter of a century ago, Andrew Barclay wrote a best-selling novel. He has never produced another book. Now a young PhD student from Los Angeles has tracked down the recluse to a backward town in a third-world Central American country.Looking for material for her thesis, she visits the writer; but instead of the brilliant author of memorable prose she finds an aging alcoholic whose twenty-five-year effort to produce another novel has generated nothing he deems worthy of publication. But Barclay is oddly certain that despite all his failures one day he will produce his second book.

Four hundred years in the future, two superpowers have carved up the galaxy and share an uneasy truce. But the Union launches a clandestine mission to kill the Empire's leader, setting in motion a train of events that leads to a revelation that will forever change the balance of power. In response, the Empire unleashes the ultimate weapon, propelling a Union spy into a timestream populated by only one other person: a young physicist from a backward planet he calls Earth, who is desperate to find a way to return to normal time.

In the hills of Arkansas, two convicts flee an accident when they are being transported to prison. On the run, they take a family hostage, but the fugitives reckon without the faith and resourcefulness of the family they have taken prisoner. One of the fugitives lost his own faith years before; but as the police close in he must come to terms with the events that caused him to lose faith, and decide whether he can keep running from the law... and from God. Nowhere to Run was inspired by a true story.
