A secret society of war and democide survivors has sent Joy Phim, a female warrior, and John Banks, her historian lover, back to 1906 to prevent the major wars and democides of the 20th Century and promote a democratic peace. But their intervention becomes known in the far future, and a Muslim dictator sends a Chinese mercenary back to 1906 to kill them and save the world for Islam. The lovers and the assassin soon discover that Bolsheviks have already changed the universe with a successful Russian Revolution in 1905. Changed? What could change their past? How could the Russian Revolution occur in 1905 and not 1917 as it did in the universe they left? When the lovers realize the incredible answer, they must confront it as they try to stop the Red Terror, Bread War, and Russian Civil War from killing millions. They are faced with unimaginably deadly weapons and power. With the world’s future at stake, John and Joy’s only choice is between a future democratic peace and a global communist dictatorship, so they launch a dangerous plan. It could save them...or realize their worst fear.
