Shattered Time

Time has not been kind to Jon Ryan. It almost seems personal between the two of them. His mission to resurrect a lost Earth gets more complicated, more dangerous, and less likely to succeed with each new barrier thrown in his path. No sooner does he escape from the master time lords than he learns Sapale is now those masters' prisoner. And she's taken the only vessel that can make the journey seventeen galaxies away, so he's helpless to rescue her. The insane time maker, who leads the clan that no-timed the Earth, eludes the team as they try to eliminate his threat for good. If he's not found, there will be no peace in the galaxy. Desdemona Tanner's powers as a controller of the dead are suddenly tested as evil forces from beyond life threaten to destroy their time ship, Aramthella. If the ship is lost, so is any hope of reviving our home world. Is Desi equal to the grim task of manipulating those who care nothing for the living? Jon faces the least attractive choice in his very long life. In order to make Sapale's rescue even possible, he must do something he cannot stomach. He has to disrupt his own timeline and dig up the advanced alien spacecraft named Wrath. Jon was forced to rely on the homicidally deranged ship before and knows he calls on it again at his very great peril. But what other choice does he have? While Jon's away trying to save his forever wife, Tank and Sachiko are left on their own. They are confronted by one bizarre alien threat after another. Are these space rookies equal to the monumental task? They must run a gauntlet of flames if they are to survive. And Jon Ryan's quest is revealed to be next to impossible. The only entity in the universe that might know how to save the Earth is Time itself. But Time has hidden itself away, never to be found. What comes after hopeless? Whatever that is, Jon and his crew are about to find out.
