About the Author
J Thomas Hunton grew up the youngest of four siblings in a typical 60’s family in rural Maine. He learned to love hunting, fishing, and just walking through he woods and fields of his home. As a young boy, he was faced with a family breakup and learned to express himself through writing poetry and short stories.
In eighth grade, a teacher saw his potential for the future and suggested that he should be a writer. He didn’t take it seriously then, but later in life, the thought resonated through his mind.
J Thomas left his home at the age of 17 to pursue a career in the Army. But after 3 years of Army life, he departed the Army. During his time in the Army, he met his future wife, Frances, while in Maine on leave. After attending college, he joined the U.S. Navy and became an Electronics Technician. He married his love, Frances, just before joining the Navy.
J Thomas spent seventeen years in the Navy, reaching the rank of Chief Petty Officer. In the Navy, he was able to travel extensively, living in several foreign countries and other states. In 1996, he retired from the Navy and worked several jobs while continuing to pursue his education.
In 2019, he lost his wife Frances after a battle with cancer. He struggled with depression after the loss of his 40-year marriage. He found his eighth-grade girlfriend, Barbara, and married her in 2022.
J Thomas finally got the urge to write again in 2024 and began his journey into authorship with his debut novel, “Displacement”. It was quickly followed by this sequel, “Displacement: Time Matters”.
J Thomas has every intention of writing more novels in the future. Right now, “Marscape Revisited” is undergoing editing and will be published soon. Another novel, “Annunaki” will also be published within a few months.

Their AI computer ARIA, once a trusted ally, has inexplicably failed them, contributing to the spatial error that has stranded them in this alien era. A bizarre temporal rift ensnares the Asteria, pulling it towards a massive, artificial Dyson Ring structure orbiting a star. Alien ships surround them, transporting the bewildered crew to an otherworldly chamber where a mysterious entity known as the Defenders materializes before them. The Defenders reveal the chilling truth about the Void Eaters, a relentless force consuming the universe. Their only hope lies in integrating the Asteria's revolutionary temporal drive with their own technology to create an impenetrable barrier against the encroaching doom. In a race against annihilation, the drive is hastily integrated, and the barrier holds - for now. Offered a chance to remain with the Defenders, Paul and Dr. Chen choose this path while the rest of the crew elects to stay aboard the Asteria. The Defenders then propel the ship back towards its original coordinates near Proxima Centauri. Orbiting the barren but habitable planet Proxima Centauri b, Captain Evans decides to investigate Proxima c, just outside the habitable zone. There, they encounter an alien civilization, but their probe is swiftly obliterated by a strange creature. The Asteria itself is ensnared by a tractor beam and crashes on the surface. Venturing outside, the crew comes face-to-face with the enigmatic aliens. These beings, calling themselves Watchers of the cosmic web - an interconnected energy pathway spanning the galaxy - seek to integrate the Asteria's temporal drive with their technology to stabilize the fracturing pathways. Despite immense challenges, the drive is linked, and the cosmic web is temporarily stabilized. As a gesture of gratitude, the aliens repair the Asteria and send it on its way. |
