Some several thousand years before the World Government began taxing trans-dimensional travel, The Document appeared under the passenger’s seat of a typically unkempt French hatchback. The mysterious figure who had sent it back through time knew fully its potential to change humanity’s future-history. The people of the 21st century didn’t quite understand the gravity of it all and promptly left it in the hands of someone far less than capable of executing Fate’s will. In a desperate attempt to divine a purpose in his life, William Heard takes what he can only presume as being far beyond his own understanding and turns his heels to the wind. His adventures echo throughout all history, changing the way in which people see the world they live in, generating new foundations for civilisation, starting domino-effect upon domino-effect of turbulently insignificant events, and regrettably almost killing one-hundred-thousand African Hippos.
