More DescriptionCommander Chadeler discovered a temporal wormhole that traversed not only two hundred parsecs of space, but fifteen days of TIME!As the captain of the first galactic battlecruiser equipped with full stealth cloaking he realizes if he ventures into the earlier timeline, if he ventures into his own past, his presence there will be completely undetectable.He begins to daydream about every young man's fantasy: to go back in time and place that winning bet at the local race track with the absolute knowledge of what the result will be.Of course that is impossible. How could he profit from his winnings when his superior officers would soon realize he was abusing the Time Rift.But what if they didn't know! What if he keeps his discovery a secret?Yielding to temptation and greed he re-enters the past to steal valuable military equipment that can be sold for a fortune on the black market. But he must take action to prevent the "Butterfly Effect" from distorting his own history. Otherwise the timeline he returns to will be different to timeline he left only hours before and he will be stranded and out of sync. with his own past.But a trivial flaw in his well laid plans triggers catastrophic repercussions. The hoist works perfectly, but the butterfly effect rebounds to haunt him. A simple error, a single miscalculation, destroys his ability to return to his own timeline and he becomes the hunted. With the fury of the Galactic military pursuing him he uses the temporal wormhole to escape into the past. But this time the wormhole itself, the Rift in Time, plays an even crueler trick. Handicapped, like noone before him, he struggles simply to stay one step ahead. But to survive he must risk invoking the dreaded Time Paradox. Can the military forces effect "disaster recovery" upon the corruption caused by the conflicting timelines or will the forces return to their native timeline and find it changed beyond all recognition?
