From the author:
Hello.
Just want to provide a brief explanation of the issues which compelled the writer to tell this story.
In a nutshell, a lack of investment in alternate energy sources.
You see, if we were brave enough to take a look at our fossil fuel consumption and the resources remaining, if we had a leadership capable of foresight and an energy industry honest enough to explain our upcoming, inevitable crisis; or if we had a government that might provide solutions, then the scenario played out in our book, Timeline, might be avoided.
That not being the case, and the solution offered in Timeline a sci fi fantasy, where will we be in twenty years? What will be the energy solution for our children and grandchildren?
Now this is just a work of fiction where our story allows an alien power source to solve an immediate crisis. So no real solution here.
But then our story goes much deeper, revealing the real cause of our predicament, and we can see where we went wrong and how far off course we are.
And in the end we come to know the necessary course correction, staggering in magnitude, will be up to us.
And frankly its not looking good.
Hope you enjoy the book!
