TUCSON, Ariz. - illiNews -- Author Larry R. Wasion highlights Jump Gate I: Time Chair, the first in his series. It's a sci-fi novel blending time travel, suspense, tech, and resilience. As the opening chapter, it introduces an unusual time machine, high-stakes experiments, and a universe of teleportation, interstellar travel, and jump-gate tech.
In Jump Gate I: Time Chair, Wasion introduces a story built around a thought experiment that grew into a larger interconnected series. The book focuses on a unique time machine with strange limitations and possibilities, laying the groundwork for subsequent books, including Jump Gate II – Teleporter. Wasion notes that the concept started as a collaborative idea and expanded into a science fiction series centered on invention, consequence, and discovery. The novel is deeply personal for Wasion, completed after Dennis Stahl's death, fulfilling a promise and dedicating the book to him. Stahl's encouragement inspired the story, and the book launched the series.

Wasion's background provides a unique perspective on his fiction. He describes a life including music, military service, manufacturing leadership, and advanced technical work. He served four years in the U.S. Navy, worked in high-tech and manufacturing sectors, contributed to space shuttle safety, supported projects related to the Titanic and deep-ocean imaging, helped with Gulf of Mexico oil well response work, and participated in Antarctic sensor and cable projects for neutrino research. His real-world experience with pressure, engineering, and innovation shapes the tone and scope of his fiction.
Jump Gate I: Time Chair embodies Wasion's belief that sci-fi doesn't need to be dystopian to be engaging. He aims to write adventurous stories with danger, sabotage, espionage, and extraordinary events, while maintaining optimism. This gives the series a unique identity, blending technical ideas with excitement, imagination, and hope. Originally published as a first edition in 2023, Jump Gate I: Time Chair remains the entry point to Larry R. Wasion's broader, multi-book science fiction vision.
