Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A search through time... for profit.

Alternitech sends prospectors into alternate but similar timelines where tiny differences yield significant changes: a world where the Beatles never broke up, where Lee Harvey Oswald wasn't gunned down after the Kennedy assassination, where an accidental medical breakthrough offers the cure to a certain disease, where a struggling author really did write the great American novel, or where a freak accident reveals the existence of a serial killer.

Alternitech finds those differences—and profits from them.
