Time traveling aliens are trying to alter Earth's future. Plus, they want to revive their ancient religion of human sacrifice. That's not going to happen if Dr. Will Stevens has anything to say about it....
Dr. Will Stevens, prominent scientist of ancient languages, is hired by EROS Corporation to decipher the hieroglyphic tablets found in the newly discovered ruins. With the help of computer specialist Dr. Sam Smith, they soon learn of the gateway, a time travel portal utilized by an alien race known as thePakolmeck. Will, Sam, and Will’s ex-fiancé Dr. Elli Young promptly interpret the inner workings of the gateway and time travel quickly becomes available. Soon they also discover the aliens are from a crashed space ship time traveling to the past to influence and alter Earth’s future and to resume their grisly ritual human sacrifices. The time travelers will stop at nothing and are murdering anyone that gets in their way. Only Will, Sam, and Elli realize the true dangers of time travel which creates small rifts in time they nameTime Ripples,and decide it has to stop before irreparable damage is done to the fragile fabric of time. This lands them directly into harm’s way when Sam disappears and attempts are made on Will and Elli’s lives. Will understands there is no other choice, this monumental task of stopping this evil plan falls to him and no matter what it takes, he must get it done.
Excerpt
A slight chiming sound resonated through the helmet informing Zandl that the wormhole was now fully established. With just a touch of sadness the thought, I’m going to miss being Pakolmeck. But, it’s time for the new life to begin.
Zandl closed his eyes and paused for a moment. Taking a deep breath, he pushed the button. His journey backward in time wasn’t really that long. Within seconds he reached his destination, a small room in a two story brick house on the campus of a small mid-western college town. The time was just a little over ten years in Earth’s past. He’d spent several stasis trips picking out just the right time, place, and subject for the simulation. He believed he’d found the perfect match.
As he watched, a rather small man entered the room and took a seat at the heavily cluttered desk. Yes, Zandl thought, he will do nicely. As the priest watched, the man suddenly turned and stared in his direction. Although Zandl knew the man couldn’t see him, it was still a little unnerving. Others on the expedition reported some especially bright humans could sense a presence in the room. It didn’t matter; it would be over very soon. One important factor involved with the transfer was once he took control of the body he would retain all his memories, plus all the stored memories of the subject. What could be better?
Zandl willed himself to move forward. Once close enough, he reached and placed his spread-fingered hand on the man’s forehead. The transfer happened just as he’d been told. In a millisecond his life force leaped into the subject and at the same time expelling the subject’s own consciousness. Zandl was surprised to find he could actually see the man’s life force outside the physical body, a ghostly apparition as thin as a wisp of smoke. The effect didn’t last long as the vision suddenly began to sparkle. In less than a heartbeat, it disappeared.
The priest took a couple of moments to acquaint himself with his new body. Yes, it felt strange since most humans were smaller in stature than he and others of his race. He’d studied the humans intently on all his stasis time trips and was sure he’d have little trouble with the necessary adaptation. After a bit and satisfied all was well, he moved to the desk and picked up the phone.
Phase one was done, now to contact the others and begin phase two. The plan would take a while, a few earth years even before they could resume the cleansing blood sacrifices, but it didn’t matter. After all, there was all the time in the world.
