Book
I:
Meridian
–
A Novel In Time

ForeWord
Magazine’s “Book of the Year”

2002
Silver Medal Winner for Science Fiction

The
adventure begins on the eve of the greatest experiment ever attempted—Time
travel. As the project team meets for their final mission briefing, the last
member, arriving late, brings startling news. Catastrophe threatens and the
fate of the Western World hangs in the balance. But a visitor from another time
arrives bearing clues that will carry the hope of countless generations yet to
be born.

Book
II:
Nexus Point

The
project team members slowly come to the realization that a “Time War” is being
waged by unseen adversaries in the future. The quest for an ancient fossil
leads to an amazing discovery hidden in the Jordanian desert. A mysterious
group of assassins plot to decide the future course of history, just one battle
in a devious campaign that will span the Meridians of time, both future and
past.

Book
III:
Touchstone

When
Nordhausen follows a hunch and launches a secret time jump mission on his own,
he uncovers an operation being run by unknown adversaries from the future. The
incident has dramatic repercussions for Kelly Ramer, his place in the time line
again threatened by paradox. Kelly’s fate is somehow linked to an ancient
Egyptian artifact, once famous the world over, and now a forgotten slab of
stone. The result is a harrowing mission to Egypt during the time frame of
Napoleon’s 1799 invasion.

Book
IV:
Anvil of Fate

The
cryptic ending of Touchstone dovetails perfectly into
this
next
volume as Paul insists that Kelly has survived, and is determined to bring him
safely home. Only now is the true meaning of the stela unearthed at Rosetta
made apparent—a grand scheme to work a catastrophic transformation of the
Meridians, so dramatic and profound in its effect that the disaster at Palma was
only a precursor.

Book
V:
Golem 7

Nordhausen
is back with new research and his hand on the neck of the new terrorist behind
the Palma Event. Now the project team struggles to discover how and where the
Assassins have intervened to restore the chaos of Palma, and their search leads
them on one of the greatest naval sagas of modern history—the hunt for the
battleship
Bismarck
.
