nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - TIME MACHINE EMERGENCY is a riveting description of time travel that may well be within the realm of possibility. Just as in our current world, it was considered fantasy among scientists. But that attitude soon changed for professor Kibble and his understudy, Derek. As a young 22 year old student, Derek sought to keep his discovery quiet in order to be absolutely certain of its scientific validity. He was soon forced to team up with the professor for financial and scientific support. Strapped with a bureaucratic and restrictive government, the two were obliged to keep their project under the strictest secrecy. Threats of conflict were followed by outright war, which meant they had very little time to bring their discovery to fruition. Intense experimentation finally yielded rewards, although time travel tests were very risky. There was no assurance that a person would not slip into oblivion trying to transport even ten minutes into the past. They knew they had to face the danger, and they did, because nuclear destruction seemed imminent. Jumping into the ancient past was most logical, given the impending doom lurking in the present day. But then convincing a warlike monarch of the past to go along with them was quite another matter. Using a 21st century attack helicopter proved to be the great equalizer in convincing Alexander the Great to play ball.History was radically altered when the time travelers appeared, and also when Alexander did not die in 323BC. Great and fearsome enemies came on the scene, threatening their eradication. Use of the helicopter and modern hand guns became absolutely necessary to vanquish these foes. Alexander steam-rolled across Europe, finally binding it under one rule. He had accomplished his dream, but now felt a void with nothing more to conquer. When Kibble and company checked the 21st century results of this campaign, they were appalled. Violence and slavery were rampant. The opposite effect had been achieved, so they went back to the drawing board. It was determined that they now had to start a new and different campaign in 15th century America. Alexander opted to accompany them, seeing another world to conquer. Their new goal was to befriend natives and settlers alike. However, some natives were warlike, necessitating a military push. This primitive 2 year campaign from north to south was a grass roots change. Outposts were set up all across the continent, and Alexander became the benefactor of peace and prosperity. These time travelers then checked on the 21st century again, and discovered an astounding improvement in society. When they befriended the people there, they discovered an unbelievable twist in history. A beautiful utopia was theirs for the taking, which they did not relinquish. However, now an opportunity presented itself to rewrite their own history without the destruction of nuclear war. The team seemed compelled to prevent this horror from happening. Facing a new set of challenges, they leaped time threads to save their loved ones and world. This is a story of bravery and determination against boundless adversity and odds. The time travelers gave up their original worlds to reshape two others, suffering privation and hardship in the process. The promise of beauty, peace, and ease made it all worthwhile.…
