The Time Altar Series finds its home in the Twenty-Fifth Century. In the aftermath of a near-extinction event at the end of World War IV, the world is unrecognizable. Seventy years have transpired since that cataclysm and in that time a brutal fascist regime has succeeded in consolidating its power over a continental country called United America. It's an indomitable police state. The people live under constant surveillance. They exist in perpetual fear that the government's secret service androids will drag them off in the middle of the night. When neighbors disappear without a trace their hopelessness only deepens.
With the world careening toward World War V--the inexplicable happens. In the choking smoke of a Civil War reenactment, an event designed to distract the masses, a bloody Confederate soldier appears. His life hangs in the balance as hovercraft race in to transport him to a military hospital. When the mystery intensifies, the full power of United America and multiple secret societies collide in a high-tension race to piece together his story. When evidence suggests that the soldier traveled through time, not once but twice, United America assigns its most elite interrogator, Dr. Benjamin Murray, to extract the truth. A double agent who is playing a dangerous game of espionage, he already knows the soldier's true identity. His name is, an indomitable warrior from the previous century and the country's last hope for freedom. Ben must provide protection from the government and convince the soldier to join forces with his organization. Soon they are being hunted. United America, all its security services, and the secret societies propping up its economic system will stop at nothing to eliminate the time traveler. In a century not his own, running for his life, the soldier makes discoveries that bring him to his knees. He questions not only what he is willing to die for--but what he is willing to live for. Will he find the strength and fortitude to rise up and fight again...to restore a nation that no longer exists?
