Neal Shaffer's Borrowed Time

The Oni Comics blog has the goods on Neal Shaffer's (Last Exit Before Toll) next book, Borrowed Time. The story centers on Taylor Devlin, a writer whose life is change by the Bermuda Triangle:

“When most people approach the idea of something like the Triangle it’s usually from one of two places,” Shaffer explained. “It’s either to explore it from a kind of sci-fi/conspiracy angle, or to debunk it. For me it’s more philosophical than that. Like, ‘what if it there really is something to it ... then what?’ That’s where the story really starts.

“From there it’s really a non-scientific take on the idea of time as a concept that’s not absolute, and through that I try to get at the human side of such a situation. I mean, imagine the dread of realizing that you’ve slipped into a world that’s just a few seconds away from what you had come to know and love, but those few seconds may as well be years, decades, forever?”
