Their mission: to eliminate powerful ion storms caused by the very device that opened the portal to the past. If they don't succeed their present may cease to exist! Once done they'll return home and the future will be as it should be. But Kallen didn't plan on meeting Aaric Utzman a young cartographer from post-colonial America.

No matter what he decides the past the present and the future will be irrevocably altered."
