Alternate 1635: The Baltic War is over and the members of the diplomatic embassy of the United States of Europe have left Great Britain and returned to the continent. All save for a rag-tag crew led by Britain’s most notorious rebel, Oliver Cromwell. When King Charles demands Cromwell’s head, it falls to up-time sharpshooter Julie Sims to teach the Brits a lesson that has already been learned on the continent: A safe distance isn’t what you think it is. Not when the American angel of death spreads her wings.

But just as things look their worst, a ray of hope cuts through the darkness. But before victory can be declared, Randy must complete one final mission. Along the way, he’ll learn that his skills in combating aliens may not be enough to survive the dark conspiracies of his fellow humans.
