Panicked, Jackson jumps into the past, into 2007. Now he must figure out how to return to 2009 and save his girlfriend from her imminent death. But while he's in 2007, he tries to make the best of things.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Has a prequel short story also on this page, "Tomorrow is Today".Now has a film in development, as well as two sequels, Vortex and Timestorm, that need either a folder or a page. | |

Cursed with Awesome: On one hand, Jackson can travel through time. On the other both the EOT and the CIA are out to recruit him, or kill him/his family if he joins the other side. | |

Grey-and-Gray Morality | |
| Tempest: A Novel / int_7335ffa9 | comment |
Grey-and-Gray Morality: The EOT do some pretty bad stuff, but most of them try not to kill unless they have to, and it is later revealed that they are actually only trying to prevent the bad future. The CIA is just as shady and some of it's members, like Marshall, are equally, if not more ruthless than the EOT, but they are considered more sympathetic, probably because the EOT killed Holly once already. | |

TV Teen | |
| Tempest: A Novel / int_b4afd681 | comment |
TVTeens: Averted. The main cast of the series are almost all in their late teens and early twenties, and behave accordingly. While they do swear, drink, throw wild parties, and even have sex, they never do so to an excessive amount, and the fact that they do so is never brought up and treated as normal. Despite all this, for the most part all seem rather mature for their age. | |
