From the author - Told from the perspective of 140 year-old Dylan, this is the story of how the world was changed by the world-shattering events of the early 21st Century. When 12-year old Dylan Thomas met 12-year old Henry Jacobs on the playground of their elementary school, neither had any idea of the road they would walk together, nor how their friendship would forever change the world around them. This story features the best and the worst of humanity, and is not for the young, or weak of heart. Be sure if you’re underage you have parental approval to read this story, and that you won’t break any of your local laws by doing so.

Never, ever, ever trust a mad scientist. Anyone who has read science fiction stories or watched a few episodes of Outer Limits or Twilight Zone knows not to trust mad scientists doing illegal research. I'd done all those things, and knew from the outset that I should have just walked away. There were ten thousand reasons why I didn't though.

Davey Jones took a deal with a mad scientist and it didn't go as he expected. Ever since he's been going back in time to try to fix the mistakes. Mature story contains dark themes involving graphic violence and taboo topics that may contain triggers for sensitive readers. Please do not read further if this bothers you.

Micah was a goon. At least, that’s what a lot of people like him were called. All he did, most of the time, was stand in front of the doorways and make sure only people with those pretty little badges went inside. Most people looked at his smooth face, buff body and completely ignored him, but his eyes looked at their face, scanned their badge to make sure the security clearance was appropriate and the picture matched the person wearing the badge and mentally kept a running log of who went in and out. But he had connections and it put him in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Dan Kirk will twist your mind and logic as he tells this awesome story. Dan takes the reader across thousands of years as he weaves an intense story where literally millions and millions of people are killed. It's a fight to save earth from the mists that come from a rift in time that will have you on the edge of your seat. I talk with a lot of different people about a lot of different stories and this is one of the few that almost always comes up in conversation. Ir was started on 23 October 2001. I had no grey hair then. LOL!

    From the author:
    This story is set in Ann McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern world. The story follows Jashon. He's the son of a holder that is not following tradition, which, as always, leads to grief and discontent.
    The world of Pern, as created by Anne McCaffrey have long been a favorite of mine. If you have never read any of her stories, I encourage you to purchase them from an online retailer or your local bookstore. Like Anne McCaffrey herself, I recommend starting with her original book about Pern, Dragonflight. My personal favorite remains Moreta: Dragonlady of Pern.
