In modern history…particularly recent modern history…there have been a remarkable number of minor events that have dramatically influenced larger, more sweeping trends in history. In the early days of the United States Revolutionary War, for example, the Continental Congress failed…by one vote…to establish German instead of English as the national language of the fledgling United States of America. Had this vote gone the other way, it would have profoundly changed the way United States approached international affairs in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Historians agree that if General Stonewall Jackson had not been mistakenly shot by his own men in early May of 1863, the outcome of the Battle of Gettysburg in July of 1863 . . . and the entire Civil War . . . would have been quite different. And more recently, it seems almost miraculous, that in a building complex where more than 40,000 people worked, less than 3,000 were killed on September 11, 2001. There are now countless stories and emerging legends about the reasons that the death toll was not higher. It almost seems that some events in history are manipulated. In this Science Fiction novel, T.I.M.E., the reader discovers that there is a professional but very secretive organization that does indeed manipulate historical events. T.I.M.E. is an acronym for Temporal Intervention and Management of Events. The story centers around three T.I.M.E. agents: Peter Francis Harper, Jon Brewer and Sabrina Murray. Each is an experienced officer that the T.I.M.E. Agency has recruited from different branches of the United States military. Each is in their mid-twenties and, while they do share traits and values, each comes from a different time period in recent American History. U.S. Army Captain Peter Harper was born in 1969 and his “home year” is 1996. Jon, born in 1944 and a Navy Vietnam veteran, calls his “home year” 1970. And Sabrina, an Air Force Officer, was born in 1986 and calls the year 2010 “home”. The Agency first teams up these three attractive agents for a mission to Miami, Florida in 1933 to prevent the assassination of Franklin D. Roosevelt. As a result of this mission Peter, Jon and Sabrina stay together for another, more important mission to 1861 that is designed to change the commencement of the American Civil War. During these missions, we meet FDR, Henry Ford, a young JFK and, of course, Abraham Lincoln in ways that are sometimes humorous but certainly interesting and exciting. It is in 1861 Springfield, Illinois that the team hears from President-Elect Lincoln and begins to question the motives and, perhaps goals, of the T.I.M.E. Agency. This sends them on an unplanned trip to the American Southwest in 1947 for an unexpected . . . and surprising mission.
