ⓘ About Chris Johnson

Chris Johnson is an Australian independent author who writes fast-paced science fiction and supernatural adventure stories. His work often follows ordinary characters who suddenly find themselves caught up in extraordinary situations involving time travel, historical mysteries, and unexplained phenomena. One of the central ideas explored throughout the series is the concept of the bootstrap paradox, where cause and effect form a loop and the origin of events becomes impossible to identify. As Tony experiments with his invention, he begins to realise that history cannot simply be changed at will. Instead, he must learn how to work within the events that have already happened.
