Untimed is an action-packed time travel novel by Andy Gavin, author of The Darkening Dream and creator of Crash Bandicoot and Jak & Daxter.
Charlie’s the kind of boy that no one notices. Hell, even his own mother can’t remember his name. And girls? The invisible man gets more dates.
As if that weren’t enough, when a mysterious clockwork man tries to kill him in modern day Philadelphia, and they tumble through a hole into 1725 London, Charlie realizes even the laws of time don’t take him seriously.
Still, this isn’t all bad. In fact, there’s this girl, another time traveler, who not only remembers his name, but might even like him! Unfortunately, Yvaine carries more than her share of baggage: like a baby boy and at least two ex-boyfriends! One’s famous, the other’s murderous, and Charlie doesn’t know who the bigger problem is.
When one kills the other — and the other is nineteen year-old Ben Franklin — things get really crazy. Can their relationship survive? Can the future? Charlie and Yvaine are time travelers, they can fix this — theoretically — but the rules are complicated and the stakes are history as we know it.
And there's one more wrinkle: he can only travel into the past, and she can only travel into the future!
A lavish production with a cover by acclaimed fantasy artist Cliff Nielsen and twenty one full page interior illustrations by Dave Phillips.

Untimed is a well written book with some adult content. Charlie and Yvaine will keep you on the edge of your seat, turning the pages, as they bounce around time into one misadventure after another. Unforgettable Charlie is smitten the first time he meets Yvaine in 1800, as he dares to do what no other time traveler has done before and jump in a tock's time hole. Yvaine will keep you laughing with her zany way with words, being blunt in any given situation. What are the tocks? You have to read it to find out! With tocks, time travel, falling in love, Ben Franklin, yes I said Ben Franklin, saving Billy, repairing time and more .......... this is a must read !
I loved Charlie and Yvaine's relationship too !!
