1957. What if Walt Disney wanted a time-travel ride for his recently opened Disneyland, a peek into a city of the future and what it might hold – a thrilling ride. What if he had an Imagineer he felt could come up with what that future might hold and how the ride might work? What if that Imagineer, not wanting to merely posit what the future might hold, figures out a way to travel to the future to see exactly what it might hold?

Thrill Ride takes the reader on exactly that journey, from the Los Angeles of 1957 sixty years into the far-off future of 2017. What our time traveler finds there, who he meets, and whether he can actually get back to his own time, well, that’s the tale. So, climb aboard and come along on a fanciful thrill ride filled with humor, suspense, and surprises.

“Had H.G. Wells and J.D. Salinger conspired to create an adventure in time as tangible and touching as reading a friend’s secret diary, Thrill Ride would surely be the remarkable result. From its intriguing first sentence to its richly satisfying last, we are impelled into a journey so perfectly drawn and picturesquely landscaped that it is near impossible to pause as the pages fly by, so eager are we to know what will happen to us next. Like “Groundhog Day” and “A Christmas Carol,” this is a remarkable “coming of ages” story which redefines our sense of both the future and the past in an utterly unique, witty, romantic and transformative way. Don’t wait another moment to read it. After all, there’s no time like the present.”
