Temporal Destiny (Paperback or Softback)

With a nod to the styles of science fiction greats such as Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, and Larry Niven, Temporal Destiny is the gripping third and final installment of Robert Schulman’s science fiction trilogy, .99999. This exciting science fiction adventure delivers pandemic, time travel, wormhole technology, an advanced alien race, and an Earth 10,000 years in the future.


Since Wyoming where Jack and Jen discovered a transportive alien artifact, the paleontologist and his rising-star astrophysicist girlfriend-ish, along with their fellow six crewmen, have discovered that they were pre-selected by the future residents of Earth to solve a myriad of problems threatening a human population decimated by pandemic.
Their exploration of the inner-ring of the galaxy reveals the existence of the Balocks, a super-advanced race of DNA manipulators who abandoned the galaxy—leaving inorganic beings bent on their destruction locked away behind them.

In the final book of the .99999 series, set ten years after the ‘arrival’ of the team, things really heat up. Through a confluence of unlikely events, the crew has an opportunity to save one race and help another. In doing so, they instigate a galaxy-encompassing war. The time-traveling team must learn a hard lesson—the universe always collects a toll on the unintended consequences of time displacements.
