    Summary

    Only, one thing that John has learned over the course of the last twelve months: Living Paul isn’t the same person as Dead Paul, is he.
    Dead Paul is a humble, straight-laced musical visionary; steadfast in his devotion to his family and the rights of animals of all kinds; unwavering in the face of adversity, unafraid to leave behind a band he’s outgrown; his head is brimming with ideas, his hands with talent, his heart with compassion.
    John knows Living Paul is in there somewhere, buried beneath the layers and layers of spin and veneer: the idiot who got caught with half a pound of grass in Japan, the soft lad who used to climb up a drain pipe to sneak into his own house, the mad genius, the infuriating know-it-all, the insensitive twat – the most stupidly hopeless endeavour to summarize.

     

    December 8th 1980: Paul McCartney is shot dead outside his home. In his wake, he leaves a grieving Linda, his four beautiful children, and a remarkable legacy, the scale of which the world has only begun to comprehend.

    And John.

    Summary

    The trip that Lily Evans expects to go on is the annual pre-dissertation jaunt to Athens with the rest of her Classical Civilizations PhD program. The trip she does not expect to go on is to 479 BCE, right on the cusp of one of the most important battles in the Greco-Persian war. Now, she has to navigate antiquity as she tries to find her way back to the 21st Century, God—or gods—help her.

    James wants to win this war. No, James needs to win this war. He is a man of honor and duty, and even if it means dying a gruesome, bloody death, he will go down in history as one of Athens's great warriors. He will suffer no distractions; not even beautiful ones who speak strangely and refuse to listen to his orders.

    Summary

    Then: James Potter was a beloved child star and the lead of a popular YA franchise. Lily Evans was just getting her big break as his romantic lead in the third installment. While their chemistry got rave reviews, if the rumors are to be believed the two actors can barely stand to be in the same room together.

    Now: Lily’s paid her dues and ten years later she’s the most in-demand actress in Hollywood. And James...after back-to-back flops at the box office, he’s just looking for a break and a chance to prove he is the amazing actor everyone thought he was going to be.
