"Fantastic read! Paul J. Joseph is an author to watch."
- Jonas Saul, author of the Sarah Roberts Series
What if a friendly but gullible alien fell into the hands of the KGB during the 1960s? What if their technological gifts helped the Soviets win the cold war?
What would happen to those of us who remember the real history? Could this have happened before?
From the mind of Paul J. Joseph, author of The Turing Files, featuring Romo's Journey and The Railas Project
With a lasting peace established between Earth and Baltan mediated by the growing alliance with the mysterious Szzzyyyxx, a new chapter in human history begins. It is in this environment of newfound goodwill that the Szzzyyyxx Mother requests Sally Bud's help with a mystery. Two Szzzyyyxx vessels have disappeared in the far reaches of their space. Sally and her pilot Ian plan a controversial search and rescue mission with the first of a new line of experimental ships. They and their crew arrive in the region to discover a fold that doesn't go anywhere. On closer inspection, however, they find evidence of a black hole and a strange world that defies understanding. Sally and Ian's investigation of the planet reveals a machine, established in eternity, and used to teleport the missing Szzzyyyxx to Earth in the 1960s. There, captured by the KGB, they unwittingly help a rogue agent rise to power and dominate the Earth. But the power he uses to do this opens a door to something far worse. With their own past erased, Sally and her crew must rebuild history and defeat an ancient and universal evil.
Can Sally Buds and her crew discover their true history?
Can they separate their real selves from those that are possible?
