Description
In The Inventors (Book 2 in The Hollywood Time Travel Series), Evan West and Dr. William Cooper find themselves in 1941, a pivotal year for the world
...
as the United States nears its entry into World War II.
The time travelers meet the brilliant, glamorous movie star Hedy Lamarr and the eccentric, multi-talented music composer George Antheil. Hedy and George have created an extraordinary invention, Spread Spectrum Technology, to assist the Allies in the war effort against the Third Reich. Dangerous obstacles confront their mission to deliver this invention to the US Navy; the German Abwehr, FBI and MGM security goons all want Hedy and George's technology for themselves and will ruthlessly eliminate anyone who impedes them.
Evan and Coop manage to find jobs in Hollywood and begin an unlikely partnership with billionaire Howard Hughes—all while battling time travel sickness. They must escape 1941 and get back to their own time. Can their three inventive friends discover a way to open the time portal again?
The Inventors is a tribute to Hedy Lamarr and George Antheil—whose invention led to the wireless and Bluetooth technology we use today—and highlights the impact of groundbreaking ideas that can change the world.
