With the Christmas shopping season upon us, now is the time to take your favorite sci-fi fan's gift list back to the future.

Back in Time--co-written by The Coming Evil Trilogy author Greg Mitchell and Rich Handley, author of A Matter of Time: The Unauthorized Back to the Future Lexicon--explores the complex timelines of the Back to the Future mythos, as presented in the films, cartoons, novels, comics, video games, card game and even McDonalds Happy Meal boxes. Beautifully designed and illustrated, this second volume features:

* A stunning painted cover and more than 40 breathtaking interior sketches from artist Pat Carbajal, produced exclusively for this volume

* An insightful foreword by Dan Madsen, founder and publisher of the original Back to the Future Fan Club

* A nostalgic essay examining Hill Valley's prominent families and significant events, from the town's Old West frontier beginnings to a future world of barbarians, dragons and sorcerers

* A comprehensive map offering a comparative view of the businesses and shops of Hill Valley's Courthouse Square, in numerous eras across divergent timelines

* Detailed family trees listing all known members of the McFly, Brown, Tannen, Baines, Parker, Strickland and Clayton bloodlines

* A mini-timeline presenting all known jumps through space-time in a coherent, chronological context, broken down by mode of temporal travel

* An examination of the main characters' brushes with fame, as Doc and Marty reshaped history and encountered historical figures, their own idols--and even a few characters from other franchises

Designed for both casual viewers and those who know the names of Jennifer Parker's three grandfathers, The Back to the Future Chronology is a fan's ultimate guide to Hill Valley history.
