Captain James Douglas sets off on a mundane transport and supply mission that quickly descends into disaster. Leading a fledgling society through a wild and hostile world was not part of his brief. Nor was the custodianship of all human life, history, and endeavor. Worse still, an enemy hides among his passengers, while the knowledge of a boy, just days out of school, may be all that stands between mankind and extinction.

The multiverse is collapsing. The time machine is broken. And humanity’s last hope? Might already be dead. Seven months after the EMPs brought the world to its knees, a handful of scientists are racing against extinction —and each other. Somewhere in a flooded skyscraper lies a wormhole generator that might be able to undo the apocalypse. If they can find it. If it still works. If it doesn’t kill them first. Meanwhile, Diego Nadales wakes in a cell, his face bloodied and his memories fractured. He's being accused of terrorism, treason, and time travel. The last one, at least, is true.

Anthony Franklin may have saved his home, but the world is a big place that demands his attention. Leaving Etson behind, he sets his sights on Atlanta.

He doesn’t just want to participate; he wants to come out on top as the indisputable victor.

Zale is horrified. He’s in a new body on a different planet, and wants nothing else but to return home. But his hopes are shattered when his only way back becomes the focal point for a deadly cultist—one who calls down a flaming storm of death. Burning, dying, screaming at the unfairness of it all, Zale stumbles into the sanctum of an ancient goddess—one who sends him back in time.

With great power comes great responsibility. And on modern day Earth, if great power doesn’t play nice with greater powers it gets something else too: Deadly persecution.
