When a squad of ROTC cadets training at Fort Dix, New Jersey, in November 2008 find themselves transported to December 1776 in the days before the Battle of Trenton, they find a Continental Army in disarray and General George Washington contemplating the potential of a bleak future. To make matters worse, they’ve lost a modern M-16 rifle to a roving Hessian patrol. Understanding the ramifications of such a discovery, the cadets have no choice but to report to General Washington. Without ammunition or their own meager supplies, can Cadet Sergeant Jameel Mason and his friends steel Washington’s courage and set the infancy of the United States of America back on track?

A Russian ICBM site is attacked just north of the Ukraine border. The nuclear warheads are missing! A fire ravages a cosmonaut training facility in which five spacesuits disappear. A cache of detailed schematics of highly complex rocketry systems is discovered. It all points to the unthinkable: someone—someone extremely well-funded—is taking aim at the International Space Station. But these Russian mercenaries aren’t planning to bring the ISS crashing to Earth—they’re hijacking it. The terrorists are untouchable in their orbital perch, but they have overlooked one crucial aspect of their intricate plan: that astronaut Major Allison Simms is on board the ISS—and you don’t mess with American astronauts!

What begins as a routine missing person case quickly turns into something much bigger and more sinister. Cassandra Blake, an employee for the Ascension Planetary Holdings Group—the largest and most powerful corporation in Nova Columbia—has gone missing. It falls to Detective Ezekiel “Easy” Novak to find out why. Soon, Easy finds himself trying to unravel a conspiracy that may implicate not only Ascension, but the cultlike Cosmic Ontological Foundation—and the highest echelons of the Terran Confederation itself.

The meandering road trip on the back roads between Austin and Los Angeles wasn’t going the way Aaron had thought it would. At the outset, it had sounded like an adventure, a way to see some of the countryside and forgotten parts of America. Instead, it felt like drudgery—miles and miles of endless nothing. Until a faded billboard hove into view, with the words “See the Fairville Oddity” written on it in ten-foot letters. But this detour may prove more than an amusing distraction. And an encounter at this particular roadside attraction will leave Aaron wishing he’d taken the Interstate.
