Publisher's Summary

Kelly, Justin, and Otto return in a riveting near-future thriller. From the million-copy New York Times best-selling author.

"Richards is an extraordinary writer" (Dean Koontz) who can "keep you turning the pages all night long". (Douglas Preston)

The Enigma Cube is an alien object of unlimited power, with technology that can catapult civilization to dizzying heights - or destroy it entirely. Kelly Connolly and Justin Boyd are determined to wield its power for good. But China has a cube of its own, and its motivations are much less benign....

Otto Richter is an unparalleled genius. To save his own life and reunite with Kelly and Justin in 2027, he's forced to travel back to ancient Rome. But when he arrives things go horribly wrong. Now their reunion can take place only in the past. Worse, he learns that the alien cube plans to meddle with the timeline. To intervene at a point so pivotal, one wrong move by the time travelers could completely obliterate all of modern history.

"Richards is a worthy successor to Michael Crichton." (SF Book dot com)

Interesting

This book just like the first fills scatches that Sci-fy itself that i get but also is extremely thought provoking. The premise behind omnipotent power, time travel and human augmenting is thoroughly interesting, then you get the back story behind the time travel which opens a whole new can of worms and for me in a good way.
Both the story and the performance done by Dan Bittner is fantastic. I cant wait to see if the is a follow up to this story.

Exciting, Fun, Clever, Thoughtfully-written

Thank you for another multi-fasceted, entertaining adventure. I suspected with hopeful anticipation who the Senator was and was so fascinated to see how this would unravel. Well navigated! I'm a fan of this personage of historical significance :)
Likeable heroes. I really enjoyed the ride and the philosophizing.
