TIME TRAVEL EPIC ADVENTURE FROM NEW YORK TIMES BEST-SELLING AUTHOR
OF THE HONOR HARRINGTON SERIES, DAVID WEBER
A MAN OF TWO WORLDS
History professor Benjamin Schröder lives a happy life. He has a job he
loves in a profession he adores. Then everything changes. A student's
dissertation on Operation Yellow Brick, the Pacific Allies' invasion of
Vladivostok, staged through occupied Japan to meet their Imperial German
allies sets off a psychotic episode in Schröder. It has to be psychotic,
right?
Schröder is flooded with memories of a different, ghastly world in which
Operation Yellow Brick never happened. Memories of helpless civilians
slaughtered in extermination camps. A world where the Chinese Communists
succeeded. Where the Middle East became a festering sore of bloodshed
and fanaticism. Worst of all--a world filled with thousands of nuclear
warheads waiting to launch!
Then a lunatic knocks on Schröder's door. He's a man with an impossible
story about alternate realities, time travel, temporal knots, and a
dozen doomed universes which must inevitably die. It's all beginning to
sound . . . true. And if it is, then Benjamin Schröder could be the one
man who will decide which universe lives and which dies. Including the
universe that contains the woman he loves more than life itself.
THE TIME HAS COME TO CHOOSE.
