I was thirsty as hell. I downed the glass of water in two gulps. But where am I? I wondered. Well, in a hospital obviously, but why?“Excuse me,” I said, speaking loudly because the nurse was about to leave the room. The act of raising my voice caused a lightning bolt of pain to zing through my head. My eyes went blurry and I felt nauseous. She turned around and walked back to my bed. She held up a mirror. Holy shit, I looked like I collided head-on with a train. My forehead was swollen and my face was discolored, a pretty mix of purple, red, yellow, and could that be green?“Where am I? I know it’s a hospital, but where?”“You’re at the base hospital at Pearl Harbor.”Pearl Harbor? Sounds familiar, I thought.“Please explain what happened to me.”“You were in Building 19, God knows why, and you apparently tripped and slammed your head against an engine block. Pretty stupid of them to put an engine block in the middle of the floor if you ask me. The place has no electricity and the windows are boarded up. From what the shore patrol guy said, it seems that you walked off a step to a lower level and fell forward, resulting in what you just saw in the mirror.” You’ve been here exactly one week. I’m glad to see that you’re talking. This is the first sign of consciousness you’ve shown. You had one nasty concussion. Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?”“Of course. Could I please have some more water?”“You can have as much water as you want. So, let me ask you a couple of questions. Who are you, and what’s your name?”Oh, my God. My head started throbbing again. I could not believe I couldn’t answer her simple question—and it was a good question. Who am I?“I’m sorry. I don’t recall a name. But things are starting to come back to me.”“Well, sailor, you’re doing great, my friend. We’ll just keep talking, and your memory will come back to you.” “Nancy, please hand me that newspaper.”“Sure thing. Let’s see how your reading skills are doing.”The date on the first page read May 16, 1942. Shit, I must be hallucinating.“Hey, sailor, you look pale. Do you want to rest a bit?”I dozed off. When I woke up, Nurse Nancy was there.“So, sailor, do you recall being in the Navy?”“Yes, I’m in the Navy.” My memory was starting to come back.“Are you stationed on a ship?”“Yes, definitely yes. The USS Gerald R. Ford, an aircraft carrier. It’s my flagship.”“Your flagship?”“Yes, I’m Rear Admiral Harry Fenton, the Commanding Officer of Carrier Strike Group 14.”“Well, it’s a pleasure to meet you, Admiral. My name is Florence Nightingale. Now get some more sleep, sailor.”

Oh my God, you think. It’s only five days to 9/11. You’ve got to warn everybody.But who will believe you? You’re a 17-year-old kid who claims he just time traveled from 20 years in the future.Rick Bellamy is a 37 year old FBI agent, in charge of the New York office of the Counterterrorism Task Force. His life just changed, and it wasn’t something he planned on.While visiting his old high school to help with an alumni committee, he was suddenly attacked by a short man in a black robe. Instinctively, to protect himself, Rick pummeled the little man, leaving him semi-conscious on the floor.Three other brothers came running to the scene of the commotion, one of them, Brother Francis yelling, “Young man, come to my office immediately.”The sign on his door said Dean of Men, but Rick remembered him as a guidance counselor. He wanted an explanation of Rick’s behavior toward Brother Morris. “My goal was simple, Brother—to defend myself against that sadistic little prick.”As they spoke, Rick looked around the familiar office. He saw a team photo of the championship football team from 1999. He stood in the back row. Then he realized that Brother Francis looked quite young, in his 30’s, but that was impossible because Brother Francis should be in his mid-50s by now. Brother Francis asked Rick if he knew what year it was, thinking that Rick may be suffering from a mental disorder. Rick said it was the year 2021, although the calendar on the wall showed the year to be 2001. Brother Francis then told Rick to look at a full-length mirror in the corner of his office.That’s when Rick realized that the world had changed, and his life with it. He was looking at a kid who appeared to be 17 years old.Brother Francis takes Rick to a psychiatrist who specializes in hysterical psychosis, suspecting that Rick suffers from this.

While they looked around the grounds of the high school, Ellen steps on a grate and disappears. She emerges, still at the high school, but it was a different place from where she was a few minutes ago.Ellen walks into the school, and a friendly brother informs her that Rick is, indeed, there and escorts her to the room where Rick was meeting with the time travel professor. On the way to the room she looks at a full-length mirror, and instead of seeing a beautiful 36-year-old woman, she sees a scrawny 16-year-old—herself, 20 years in the past.They try to convince anyone who will listen that they are accomplished adults in their mid-30s, Rick an FBI agent, and Ellen a famous architect. When they accurately predict the horrors of September 11, 2001 just a few days later, people start to believe them.Rick, Ellen, and a boy named Jack (another time traveler) who is an accomplished author and journalist, set off to explore their strange new (old?) surroundings. They visit Ellen’s favorite uncle who introduces them to yet another time traveler, a man with a secret knowledge of a nuclear terrorist plot in the near future.They know they have to get back to 2021 to warn the authorities of the tragedy that awaits, horrors worse than 9/11. “A wild time travel yarn to keep you up at night.”Grab this page turner and get set for the ride of your life.
