Time Rider

In a future run by a corrupt government, skipworths, a group of human beings with telepathic ability, are considered demons worthy of annihiliation. One man has been sent back to the present day to eliminate the person responsible for the birth of the skipworths. Dr. Kristen Skipworth is not the monster Rider Savage expects. She is merely a young physician whose empathic ability makes her a good doctor. She can see through Rider's TAINCC conditioning to the man beneath.

Kristen has never met a man she was so in tune with or attracted to. Too bad he's psychotic, thinking he's been sent from the future to kill her.

Rider and Kristen find themselves on the run, with the future of an entire race of people at stake and only each other to trust.
