Thrill Chase

"We just traveled two hundred years in time, and you're arguing the butterfly effect is not conceivable?"

Jason, an Alaska commercial fisherman, just returned to Sitka from crabbing in the Bering Sea. He has a pot bust hanging, his girl has left, and he needs more money.

A high-tech Seattle billionaire, having invented gravity wave time travel, has the boat and crew transported to the Strait of Gibraltar in 1798.

They defend against a pirate attack and aid a Boston merchantman. When a Napoleonic frigate threatens the American, they mangle her rigging with a mini-gun.

To get back, they must be at a certain point at an exact time. Can they make it?
