| About the Book
In Book 1 of this of this series, a secret society of war and
democide survivors sent a female warrior Joy Phim and her historian
lover John Banks back to 1906 to prevent the major wars and
democides of the 20th Century and to promote a democratic peace.
In Book 2, the new universe created by the lovers enabled a radical
Islamic ruler to achieve a global Muslim dictatorship by attacking
and defeating the democracies with nuclear weapons. Dying survivors
sent a message about the nuclear attack back in time for the lovers
to find, and to prevent this horrible future. This was their new
mission, and the lives of billions of people hung on their success.
In this Book 3, the new peaceful democratic world the lovers created
in response to the message they received about a nuclear war becomes
known in the far future as their achievement, and this sets a
dangerous example of what time travelers can do. Electrified by this
possibility, a Muslim religious dictatorship illegally constructs a
time machine and sends back to 1906 a mismatched pair of warrior
assassins. Their mission is to kill the lovers and to fight a global
jihad for Islam. Unprepared for the deadly attacks of these
assassins, the lovers are in the fight of their life to survive and
carry out their democratic peace mission. Then they unknowingly
accept as a partner in their mission a Chinese Muslim warrior also
sent back to 1906 to kill them.
