Multimillion-copy bestselling authors Douglas E. Richards and Brandon Ellis team up to deliver a gripping science-fiction thriller—one that captures the stunning collision of ancient myth and futuristic technology. The Hopi share tales of a devastating global flood like those found in cultures across the world. But some also speak of beings from the stars, massive flying objects, and a cataclysmic war between two hyper-advanced civilizations—Atlantis and Lemuria—that triggered this flood. But what if these stories aren’t just mythology? What if they’re real? Archeologist Robert Shaw believes they are. When his relentless pursuit of ancient truths leads him to a hidden starship capable of shattering the boundaries of time itself, he’s plunged into a battle for the future of humanity. Because Shaw learns that finding the sentient starship was no accident. It chose him. For a mission that could well decide the fate of worlds. Now, alongside two unlikely allies also chosen by the ship, Shaw must return to ancient times to stop a war and change history. But when the displaced trio, facing breathtaking technology and unimaginable dangers, can barely survive a single day, how can they alter the course of civilizations? How can they thwart the relentless momentum of fate itself? Worse, if they fail, the consequences will echo through time, causing an even more devastating cataclysm in the modern era. A cataclysm that could well erase humanity forever . . . Echoes of Time is a roller-coaster ride of a thriller, packed with fascinating mythology, mind-bending tech, and characters you’ll love to root for. You’ll never look at history the same way again.
