About the Book
Where did it begin? Was it days ago when a piece of advanced electronic equipment disappeared, in 1945 when a huge aircraft vanished somewhere in Egypt, or five thousand years ago when a great flood altered the future of an ancient society?
The FBI comes looking, but the electronic device has vanished without a trace. Someone high up remembers a man with unusual talents, and retired Army Ranger Jim Cagney is drawn out of the quiet of retirement into a mystery that refuses to stay in one time period.
As Cagney works with two young FBI agents, the trail leads through missing technology, ancient clues, and a shadowy pursuit that reaches farther into history than anyone expected. Every answer opens into a larger question, and every step forward makes the stakes more dangerous.
