Trapped behind enemy lines in World War I France, Lieutenant Charles Clee stumbles upon an illegal time-travel experiment and finds himself catapulted 850,000 years into the future.

Marooned in a nightmare world where prehistoric behemoths tread side-by-side with genetically-altered monsters from the laboratories of tomorrow, hunted by the eon-spanning Time Police and Earth's alien overlords, Clee races across the globe searching for the fabled last time machine—his only chance to go home.

If he returns, he can save the men of his command and turn the tide of the war—but if he remains, he can become the symbol of Earth's resistance to centuries of slavery.

In the end he must choose: Honor his oaths and rescue the men he swore to protect in the past, or honor his humanity and accept the leadership of mankind in the struggle to save the future?

No matter his decision, a world is doomed.

About the Author

Brian K. Lowe is a member of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association (SFWA), with over 50 publications to his credit. He has published 12 novels, including his Stolen Future trilogy: The Invisible City, The Secret City, and The Cosmic City; and two series featuring 1930s pulp heroes: The Grey Phantom, and Nemesis. He has also written sci-fi comedy/mystery The Adventures of Soames & Webster; the comic duology Alien House and Wasted Space; and paranormal mystery How to Murder a Corpse.

He says: It seems I've been writing all my life, and for some reason I've always been attracted to the odd, the unusual. In junior high English, I wasn't satisfied with using the characters from our grammar books for my exercises; I had to use Tarzan and Jane. I guess the teacher was amused, at least, because she never complained. In tenth grade I wrote a "novel" featuring my two best friends and me as space cadets. (No comments from the peanut gallery; it got me 100 extra credit points, the first time I got "paid" for a story.) I'm also a fan of 1950s sci-fi movies and, of course, Godzilla.

In 2008, I attended the Taos Toolbox advanced writing workshop offered by Walter Jon Williams, featuring Kelly Link as his co-instructor and Stephen R. Donaldson as guest lecturer. It was there that I learned about the Codex Writers Group, an invaluable source of news, advice, and support that I recommend to all newly-minted SF authors.

Currently I serve as the Chair of SFWA's Grievance Committee.
