Time Mission

The Ninth Legion

An encrypted SOS carved on a boulder alarms the Defense Department. The DNA in a two-thousand-year-old tooth identifies the mason as British SAS Captain King, who disappeared from Old Jerusalem, carrying the mystical spear tip that pierced Jesuss side at the Crucifixion. Is it responsible for the time ripples threatening the twenty-first century? Green Beret Robert Lake time-transports to first-century England with an unconventional commando team. He discovers that demons are real and aligned with the Dark Lord Daniel. Lake organizes a fight to the death against a cannibalistic druid army and the possessed Roman Ninth Legion, both commanded by the demonic Daniel, who carries the spear tip in battle. The novel explores several themes. May you kill a wounded enemy? May orders be disobeyed? Are US citizens bound by the constitution before it was enacted? Do parallel realms exist? Is the universe a field of consciousness? What is span of control? What is real? The reader may ponder these ideas or just hang on tightly for a ripping adventure story.
