Ways To Buy Heaven Says Wait
Back Cover Blurb
Biblico Hoxha is gone. The Nexus of Time is waiting. And Matt Dunsratty has finally fallen in love with a woman he refuses to ruin.
Heaven Says Wait is Book 3 of the Time Diving series — the endgame of the original trilogy and the most globe-spanning entry in the Mattverse yet. After dispensing with one ancient enemy, Matt takes a long-overdue vacation in France, where he meets Collie Red: a brash, politically incorrect “Lord of Time” who books his vacations on the Titanic and considers Matt his new best friend. From there it’s a Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride through history — first-class cabins on a doomed ocean liner, a stowaway seat on Apollo 11, and a stolen nuclear-missile submarine that may or may not start World War III.
In the quiet moments between catastrophes, Matt returns to teaching in Big Sur and falls hard for Maria, the school’s high-spirited principal. She is the best thing that has ever happened to any version of him. Which is exactly why he can’t let himself keep her — because Matt has destroyed every marriage he’s ever had with Shannon, his original wife, by meddling with time. He refuses to do that to Maria.
The Time Diving trilogy comes to a head as Matt finally finds a way to cast Collie Red into the Nexus of Time — a sealed dimension that time divers can enter but never leave. Hotel California by way of Dante.
For readers of metaphysical time-travel novels, consciousness-time-travel sagas, redemption arcs without easy endings, and books like Replay by Ken Grimwood, The Midnight Library, 11/22/63, and the Bobiverse — this is the volume where everything Craig Robertson has been quietly building finally pays off.

FAQs
Heaven Says Wait is Book 3 of Craig Robertson’s Time Diving series and the endgame of the original trilogy. After defeating his first enemy, Matt Dunsratty falls in with Collie Red — a politically incorrect “Lord of Time” who vacations on the Titanic — and is dragged through a series of escalating historical capers, including a stowaway trip on Apollo 11 and a stolen US nuclear-missile submarine. In the quiet between catastrophes, Matt falls in love with Maria, a school principal in Big Sur, only to discover that loving her may be the most dangerous thing he can do.
Yes. Heaven Says Wait is the conclusion of a tightly serialised trilogy, and Matt’s history with Shannon, Biblico Hoxha, Katherine Bayer, and the Nexus of Time pays off here in ways that won’t land for new readers. Start with Letters From Hell (Book 1), then Purgatory’s Best Shot (Book 2), then Heaven Says Wait (Book 3). Book 4, Into The Nexus, opens a new arc in the same Mattverse afterward.
Heaven Says Wait sends Matt aboard the RMS Titanic in 1912, places him on the Apollo 11 lunar mission in 1969, and stages a hijack of a US Navy ballistic-missile submarine in the modern era. Each historical setting is treated with care; the focus stays on Matt’s interior journey and on the consequences of meddling with events the rest of history considers fixed.
Your guess is as good as mine. Sorry.
