Timelines Unraveled
In Timelines Intertwined, Clay and Melissa meet Monsignor Bacardi at the Vatican during their honeymoon. The Vatican, not usually a honeymoon stop, is the result of a wedding gift from Clay’s mother, Jessica, who gave them an audience with the Pope. This audience and friendship with Bacardi set them on a journey of circumstances which are in and out of their control throughout the timeline book series. In Timelines Unraveled, neither Clay nor Melissa recall this meeting, except in déjà vu moments. Bacardi is both a help and hindrance in Clay’s work.
From Timelines Intertwined, Bacardi sets Clay on a timeline that makes him feel that his time travel pursuits are a failure. That’s where Timelines Unraveled starts. Once Bacardi has Clay’s invention, the TYMESuit, it somehow corrupts his mind and he is willing to use it regardless of whom it might hurt. As Bacardi uses the TYMESuit, he has a revelation during his time travels of earth’s disastrous misdirection causing him to seek amends, with the help from Clay, Melissa and the robot Clarence, for his wrong doings.
