Eddie Upnick interviewed Sidney Dowse in a 1995 chance meeting in Antigua. Before the Second World War broke out, Sidney worked in secret operations for Stewart Menzies. Menzies was the head of MI-6 and had daily meetings with Winston Churchill. Sidney related never before told stories to Upnick, under the condition that they would not be revealed until after Sidney Dowse’s death, which occurred in 2008.
Did time travelers help the allies win World War II?
Sound far-fetched? Perhaps. The head of MI-6 during World War Two, Stewart Menzies, claimed to have met two men carrying hand-held, voice-activated devices before Germany invaded Poland. These men “supposedly” broke the German Enigma codes and improved the fledgling English radar systems.
Thirty years of research and several “off the record” interviews compelled author Eddie Upnick to piece this tale together. Time Will Tell (Label Man Books) may read like pure fiction, but Upnick claims thirty facts are hidden inside the walls of this “novel.”
Dowse later became much more famous for the fact that his plane was shot down and he was captured and eventually sent to Sagan, the prison camp portrayed in the 1963 movie ‘The Great Escape.’ Sidney was a tunnel king who escaped along with 75 other men, 50 of whom were shot by the Gestapo.
Did Churchill know the date and time of the Pearl Harbor attack weeks beforehand? Was Neville Chamberlain the fool history has portrayed him to be? How did these time travelers alter history to assure an Allied victory?
Were ancient writings, dating back to 155 million years ago, discovered in North Dakota? What did they tell us?
Upnick also interviewed top level directors at Area 51 to look for second sources for Menzies stories.
These questions and hundreds more are answered in this amazing book. Fact or fiction, let the reader decide.
Time Will Tell is the first in a fast-paced, thrilling trilogy. The sequel, Future Tense, picks up the story twenty years later in 2022 when after Putin’s death, Russia is run by former KGB agents selling nuclear weapons to the highest bidder. Upnick gives a realistic look at what our world could look like in 15 years, under such circumstances.
2052 is the final in the trilogy and ties all three books together in a plot so intriguing it will have readers’ adrenaline flowing at warp speed as the next generation tries to save the world from threats from outer space. This reality-based, science fiction plot thrusts readers deeper into what may be our possible future, leaving them wondering, ‘what if?’

Indie Reader: “Time Will Tell grabbed me from its first sentence and held my attention to the very last…with memorable characters and a plot filled with twists, action, time travel, alternate universes, and even aliens…It is unusual, but riveting, and would make for an excellent television series should the author ever choose to cross that bridge; it could be the next LOST.”
The New Paltz Oracle: “They say that you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. But Upnick’s rip-roaring historical sci-fi novel…is the notable exception to the rule…Upnick’s writing is up-tempo and keeps the reader engaged throughout the course of his debut 221-page book…Upnick breaks down the fourth wall and leaves the reader left in a hallway of dreams, unsure whether it’s fact or fiction.”
