Welcome to the one-street village of Linntean in the Scottish Highlands. It’s great for tourists, less so for local teenager Doran West. He and his best friend Zander crave a change of scenery, some excitement. What they have in mind is a weekend away to the nearest city. Fate has a little more in store.
An accident while fleeing school bullies leads Doran to an extraordinary discovery: he can travel in time. What’s more, he isn’t alone. There are others who share his gifts, hiding in plain sight and tied to a shadowy organisation called the Eternalisium.
With Zander in tow, he embarks on a terrifying odyssey through the ages, risking death on the gallows and battlefield, contending with ruthless enemies from the future and learning more than he’d like about his own adult self.
Mind-bending, thrilling and funny, The Rebel of Time bounces from Robert the Bruce’s Bannockburn to Leonardo Da Vinci’s Tuscany, with stops in Hollywood and the First World War trenches, in a spellbinding adventure from a masterful new storyteller.

Author Bio
Craig Andrew Mooney is a Scottish actor and writer, originally from Dundee. His first taste of writing came at a young age when he was tasked with writing his Primary 5 assembly. The play focussed on his class’s history topic all about Robert the Bruce and the Wars of Scottish Independence. The time period always stuck with Craig and now, nearly twenty-five years later, he has revisited it in his debut novel, a time-travelling adventure where the protagonists find themselves meeting Scotland’s most famous king.
