A.J. Daniels is from our time, but when a mysterious man reveals an extraordinary truth to him, A.J. is thrown into our world half a century into the future. It's a time when a trip to space is like a ride around the block, when computers exceed human intelligence, when humans have the technology to end starvation and cure disease worldwide. It's also a time when there is so little oil left that only the rich have gas-burning cars. It's a time when the world population has been half destroyed by international war. The survivors will experience the real adventure, because it's a time when technology is so advanced that it seems like magic...a time when contact has been made with life from other planets...a time when time travel is very real.

This great age of human achievement and discovery comes with great dangers—including one unknown danger in particular that threatens humanity itself. What A.J. doesn't yet realize, is that he has been brought to this time and place, to save them all."
