Bad Love Strikes is an action-packed book which Schewe has successfully transformed into a big screen vision that a movie producer or big star will find appealing. The story possesses all the elements of a thrilling ride through time, space and historical reality as an unlikely group of heroic teenagers band together in an effort to change the world.
Fans of the Bad Love Gang series can find the book music playlists on Spotify© which includes famous, and not so famous, classics from The Beatles, Elvis, Led Zeppelin, Frank Sinatra and many others. Because of alien world time-travel elements within each story, the songs are also employed as a form of universal communication device to foster better relations.
Bad Love Strikes was a bestselling book in the 'Time-Travel Fiction' category on Amazon, just behind Stephen King, and asks the question, "What if you could go back in time and save a Holocaust victim? Even just one?" A group of teens from Oak Ridge, TN is given that chance when they happen upon a defunct experiment left over from President Roosevelt, Albert Einstein, and the creation of the Atomic bomb.
They discover The White Hole project, a "backup plan" time travel machine created by Roosevelt in case the atomic bomb failed. Because it's made to go back to the WWII years, the teens come up with a mission to save Jews and Gypsies from the Holocaust in November 1944 by using a U.S. Air Force B-17 bomber that was known as "The Phantom Fortress." Bad Love Strikes is an enjoyable romp that balances the delicate subject matter of a dark time in history, with the adventurous hope of youth.
"The Bad Love Gang is back at it with an ample supply of action, adventure, espionage, intrigue and suspense. Bad Love Beyond is like flying through the Museum of Natural History, the National Air and Space Museum, Jurassic Park and Captain Kirk's starship with a wonderful tour guide." —David A. Holladay, M.D.
"Bad Love Beyond is the newest volume of the Bad Love series and once again the author mixes history with fantasy so successfully that the book both entertains and informs. Skillful writing, a zesty sense of humor, an appreciation for pop culture, and the ability to create memorably entertaining characters combine to make this an immensely impressive novel." —Grady Harp, Top 50 Amazon Hall of Fame Reviewer, 5-Stars
