ABOUT THIS NOVEL

This novel is the seventh and last installment in a collection of novels depicting the adventures through time of Nancy Laplante, a female Canadian war correspondent from 2012 and the chief of operations of the Time Patrol, an organization originating from the 34th Century.  Those novels were written prior to the fictionalized events of the 21st Century depicted in them, thus should be treated as novels about alternate realities.  The years in the dates shown in the headings are followed by either the letters ‘A’, ‘B’ or ‘C’, denoting in which timeline the action is happening.  Timeline ‘A’ is the original historical line, while Timeline ‘B’ is a parallel alternate history created accidentally by Nancy Laplante when she was transported against her will from 2012 to the year 1940 and involuntarily changed history by her actions.  Timeline ‘C’ is a second parallel history created from 1941 ‘B’ when enemies of Nancy tried to kill her to change history in their favor.  While Nancy Laplante ‘A’ died in 2019 ‘A’ while reporting on a war in Northern Iraq, her young timeline twin, Nancy ‘B’, has taken over her mantle as a field agent of the Time Patrol, while Ingrid Dows ‘C’, timeline twin of the adopted daughter of Nancy, is opening the use of Space for the United States.
