Earth is the target. Aliens are coming. One man holds the key to saving humanity. Doctor Aaron Howe’s discovery of a curious black box in the Canadian tundra marks the beginning of this exciting, galaxy-spanning adventure. Traveling through time to find the link between General Washington’s brutal enemies and his own—he must battle not only vicious killers from 1776, but also prepare for an alien attack that could destroy all humans. Howe's probability of success is low, but he will be helped by a mysterious, galaxy-traveling AI named Allison who has her own hidden agenda. Add to their assets, Mercy Smythe, a nanite-enhanced war widow bent on delivering revenge and justice. Plus, Recon, a handful of courageous and rowdy Revolutionary War soldiers—well, together, they just might survive long enough to save the Earth.
