“A satellite is blasted back through time, beaming hazy pictures home to the present day from the American Civil War. Now it’s time for the first manned mission as Chrononauts Corbin Quinn and Danny Reilly step back into the past on live TV with the whole world watching with bated breath. But of course, it all goes wrong, and they find themselves lost in the time-stream, and time itself is running out. This book also contains Corbin and Danny’s second adventure, this time blasting into the future and discovering why the human race has never been invaded by time-travellers. This story is about the Professor who taught the boys everything, and his terrible secret is jaw-dropping.”

Chrononauts Library Edition is out in bookstores on May 13, 2025, and comic shops on May 14, 2025.
