Synopsis
In the ashes of World War IV, planet earth is unrecognizable. Book 2 of the Time Altar Series, The Fall, finds Twenty-Fifth Century United America, a juggernaut, in the pockets of an iron fist fascist regime. The only counterweight, Mutare Science and Technology Global (MST), is much more than it appears.
Dr. Benjamin Murray escapes to MST with the time-traveler Lt. Col. Jake Gillean and a proxy war erupts between the two global heavyweights. As humanity wails under the weight of fascism, Jake demonstrates his skills as a high-tech warrior. But can one soldier alone make a difference?
This science fiction high-tech warfare thriller finds humanity on the brink of subjugation. In a dim future, with global powers asserting themselves on every level of human existence, the Artificial Intelligence that we have trusted to cultivate Mars may have been left to themselves for too long!
About the Author
Daniel Clerc grew up on a multi-generational family farm in the agricultural corridor of Illinois. With an irrepressible love for the sciences and the healing arts, he attended Southern Illinois University where he achieved bachelor's degrees in molecular biology and psychology, and a minor in organic chemistry. He became a certified EMT and went on to complete a master's degree in biochemistry. Daniel then attended Saint Louis University School of Medicine and graduated in 1998 with his Doctorate in Medicine. With an additional interest in forensic pathology, he became a certified death investigator. After completion of a family medicine residency in St. Louis, he relocated to the Pacific Northwest to complete post-doctoral training in sleep medicine. Currently, Daniel continues to practice a combination of sleep and family medicine in the Pacific Northwest.
The tension of The Time Altar Series not only weaves its way through two centuries in the future, but it also reaches fever-pitch in the dystopia of the United States in the mid-1800s. The reader will become absorbed in the plight of Lt. Col Jake Gillean. He is a stranger cast into a world where advances in science, technology, and warfare threaten the survival of humanity. The Time Altar is a deep twist of psychology, history, and governments buckling under the pressure of disparate philosophies. It's a bold look back to discover where we've been, and a look forward to where we're going.
