About the Book
In a time of war, morality is overcome by the unthinkable. The unthinkable justified by fear and circumstances beyond our control. From uncontrollable circumstances emerges a new world of terror. To fight this terror we sacrifice our morality further and go beyond the unthinkable. The remnants of this vicious cycle turn with a momentum all their own and live on long after the treaties are signed. This is the fuel that sustains us between conflicts. This is the catalyst that ignites our creativity and spawns new technologies of war. We are united through common enemies, even though our greatest enemy is our own fear. For David Andrews, his peaceful existence collided with the reverberations of a war written into history books decades earlier. As the reality of these uncontrollable events swamp over him he comes face-to-face with the unthinkable. The cyclone of a war that will not die will test his fear of the unknown by redefining everything he knew to be true and replacing it with an alternate universe. An alternate set of events sent into motion the day of his birth. A universe created by the cold war in a long forgotten US military base called Camp Hero. Camp Hero State Park is located on the south fork of Long Island, just west of the Montauk Point Lighthouse. The Montauk Point Lighthouse was commissioned by General George Washington in 1792 during the Revolutionary War. In 1929, during WWI the US Army established Fort Hero, named after Major General Andrew Hero, Jr. who was the Army’s Chief of Coastal Artillery. In 1942, during WWII the US Army upgraded the defenses of Fort Hero to deal with the growing threat of German invasion and Camp Hero was born. Camp Hero was eventually turned over to the Air Force in 1950 to become part of the National Air Defense system. Finally, in 1984 the land was turned over to the New York State Department of Parks. Conspiracy theorists believe the base is still operational today and the science being developed is out of this world.
About the Author
Cameron Elliott, a first time author, has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) and has spent the majority of his professional career developing advanced electronics for military fighter aircraft. This has allowed the author to weave together technologies from the past with those of the future to bring time travel and spaced based weaponry to the reader at a level they can understand. Growing up on Long Island, the author and his family spent many weekends at Montauk Point camping and fishing. Along with his brothers, Montauk Point offered them much more. It was a place where three brothers could spend their summer days exploring the remnants of an old military base that once guarded the coast during WWII. It was not until the magic of the internet and a growing curiosity to know more about the military base that the author discovered Camp Hero. What was more curious were the other websites that popped up describing Camp Hero as the Area 51 for futuristic technology and time travel. The mysticism that surrounds Area 51 has a major following of people who want to believe in life from other planets. A similar mystique surrounds the belief that time travel is not only possible but has been around for decades. The existence of underground bases and the development of weapons of mass destruction has long been the topic of many government conspiracies. Why not in the quiet little town of Montauk Point on Long Island? What if the United States did stumble across the technology for time travel? How would the ability to travel back in time be used if it were in the hands of the military? The answers to these questions and more are all captured for your entertainment. All you have to do is believe.
