eBook Description: Jeremy Cardiff's day job at Alternitech gives him access to alternate universes. A struggling musician, Jeremy knows just what's most important to bring back from another dimension--the music Buddy Holly, Jimi Hendrix, and John Lennon would have made had their lives been spared. On this trip, however, the Alternitech explorer finds something else: a hit album by Jeremy Cardiff. Success, of course, is never what you think it will be.

He arrived, hoping to find a new Lennon, or a Jimi Hendrix. Or an alternate universe where the Beatles had never broken up. As the air ceased shimmering around him, Jeremy staggered; with his head pounding, he sucked in a deep breath. His employers at Alternitech always made him empty his lungs before stepping through the portal. The company had strict rules limiting the amount of non-returnable mass shuttled across timelines, even down to the air molecules. Take nothing tangible; leave behind as little as possible. The air here smelled good, though; it tasted the same as in his own universe. He snatched a glance around himself, making sure that no one had seen him appear. It had rained recently, and the ground was still wet. Everything about this new reality appeared the same, but each timeline had its subtle differences. Jeremy Cardiff simply needed to find the useful ones.
