Sally's life on Earth becomes boring when she turns to politics, but not for long. As UN space commissioner, Sally finds herself presiding over the aftermath of Earth's first colonial war. Baltan City, Earth's greatest achievement, tries to declare independence, which creates a violent and polarizing conflict. In the midst of this new cold war, an Earth ship from the future is entering the system and appears to be approaching Baltan. Sally and Ian must call a truce with the colonists long enough to investigate. The ill-fated mission launched 20 years after the day Sally Buds sets foot on Baltan involves the testing of an engine capable of creating its own fold. The results were disastrous. The crew of the Alliance ship Ultrablitz is still alive, technically, but they've been in transit for 1300 years in an attempt to stop their own mission. But, on further investigation, it becomes clear that there is yet more at stake and than one ship, and it falls upon Sally to decide the fate of thousands of people across the centuries.

I am an avid reader/listener of Sci-fi stories and tales. I have a large tolerance for all styles, topics and era of books writing. Even with this fact I rarely read a story which makes me sit up and become fully absorbed as this book did! This book was epic and excellent! I thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end. The author/readers does a fantastic job telling this tale, bringing the characters to life with great emotion while at the same time giving insight into the characters mind set causing you the reader to often pause for thought provoking scenarios. I look forward to reading the authors other books with hope of similar or equal entertainment. Excellent job!!!
BRILLIANT..!!!

This is the best story I've ever come across... I laughed, I cried, there were many sharp intakes of breath, twists & turns, so exciting, so emotional (I shall never be able to forget Eetoo, he touched my heart!) it was like an epic Hollywood movie in my head (if that makes sense!) In fact, it SHOULD BE A MOVIE...!!! Thank you Paul for bringing this wonderful story to life for me.. I truly hope your work will be recognised

Each book has made me want to download the next and this one has to be the best so far. The theory that Paul J Joseph uses to describe time travel is a fresh approach and keeps the reader/listener hooked to find out how he resolves the paradoxes that he raises. I'm on the last episode and can't wait to see how he wraps it up.

Awesome! Thanks for all 4 stories. I don't always like Sally or her decisions, but the all 4 book are very enjoyable. This one is by far the best and I can't wait for #5!

Mr Joseph's science fiction adventures could create a series of feature length films or a tv series that could rival Star wars or Star Trek or Lord of the rings if it was well produced.. there are a lot of highly creative concepts in these stories and it holds your attention. everything from time travel to the Bermuda triangle to hostile aliens to battling for freedom and justice and looking into a lot of the moral dilemmas that mankind faces in the present as well as potentially in the future. great character development. And again very creative. And these days it is hard to write science fiction that does not just replicate previous stories. these stories have a lot of similar elements and combinations of elements but it is put together in a way that is fresh and not predictable. It keeps you in suspense and curious. This is my second listen to this series And I'm picking up things I didn't catch in the first time around. I would love to find some nice hard copies of this book!

Thank you Paul for a really imaginative story that true to your writing has great depth in character development, relationships and adventure. This is a solid Sci-fi tale that I commend to others to explore; indeed one of the best that I have encountered. Although a Sci-fi narrative, the plot tackles political themes and how bitterness can corrupt perspective. As always, Paul explores relationship and how they are affected and influenced by stressful situation. He also has us contemplating the sheer hopelessness of one particular situation and how people respond to this. So thankful to you Paul for taking me on such a complex and thought provoking journey. Can't wait to get into the rest of your books in this series. I believe also that you have found your voice as a narrator; just a tad a slower has made a big difference.

What can I say that others haven’t.. I read a lot of SF over 50 years. Ok — Paul.keeps my attention without a lot of over hype - putting new twists along the way. The story is interesting, thoughtful, multifaceted, yet hangs together. A great sci-fi ‘what if?’ plot(s) that sucks you in by letting you see the end game(s) — maybe?! All the while you wonder how you will get closure? And you do. Lots of threads to pull if the author chooses—can’t wait to see what he does in the next three books. BRAVO ZULU as the Navy says!
