We all know that Sam, Bill and Thomas grew up together as best friends, overcame their childhood bully and then dived into a new nightmare called high school. But what actual events transpired that sent Sam and Bill into military service, and to eventually create their own business we know as SANDBOX? And how did Thomas become a successful children's book writer and come to live in Running Springs? This glimpse back in time will set the foundation for what each of them will endure in the future. Their past will catch up to them soon enough because, as we know, nothing is ever as it appears...in Shadows of the Sand.

It's been four years since the terrifying incidents occurred in Hawaii and Washington D.C., yet Thomas Clark can't stop looking over his shoulder. Now, in late 2001 and in the aftermath of 9/11, he and Laura are challenged with a decision that will define their future. But they're not the only ones facing turmoil. Sam and Bill land on the razor's edge as a judgment call they made, twelve years prior, comes back to haunt them. As the families work together to combat a common enemy they are not prepared for the situation they get placed in, nor do they completely understand what sacrifices they'll have to endure...in Shadows of the Serpent.

After the Director of the CIA is captured by an old nemesis, Nikolay Dmitriev, long thought dead, Thomas and his family are left with no other choice than to flee the safety of their new home. However, to complicate their situation even further, a game-changing video is released that depicts Thomas and Gavin miraculously rescuing Sam and Bill from their captors in Afghanistan. As people of the world begin to demand answers the President of the United States outs Thomas' identity, immediately putting the family's lives at risk. With nowhere left to hide the family realizes that it's only a matter of time before they'll be hunted down and caught, to be locked away and experimented on. Thomas, continually regretful of the danger he's placed his entire family in throughout the years, takes a stand and demonstrates his abilities to the world. But will that be enough to save them? Only time will tell...in Shadows of the Children.

Throughout Thomas Clark's life it's been hinted that his father, Michael Clark, worked for the CIA before his untimely death. Did he actually work for the CIA? Are the rumors true? How did he manage to leave such a large inheritance to Thomas? For those answers the clock will swing farther back than ever before as Michael Clark's life is peeled away, layer by layer, in Shadows of the Service.

After Thomas and Laura accept the Director of Central Intelligences offer to work for him in Virginia, it doesn't take long before they and their children, Emily and Gavin, are confronted with new obstacles that challenge their cohesive unit. Sam and Bill, with SANDBOX teetering on the edge of oblivion, agree to a dangerous mission in the Middle East. While Julie and Kim are unhappy with their husband's decision, they also find themselves at wits end as they feel obligated to send their children off to a boarding school, away from potential danger. As all of them feel the pressure mount, old enemies believed to be long dead, reappear and strike out at the family's fragile state. Before long it's just a matter of time before the world is overrun by the impending chaos...in Shadows of the Future.

With a significant portion of the world's population dead from the devastating effects of Dr. Matsushita's plague, Thomas, Sam, Bill and their families, alongside Dr. Matsushita, are imprisoned deep underground in Area-51, their incarceration courtesy of the President of the United States. But humanity's future becomes ominously dire, after Dr. Matsushita's daring escape, when he brokers a deal with a timeless creature, from the Other Place, that emerges out of Gavin's portal. And to make matters worse, with the end of days on the horizon, the Russian President, Demian Anatolievich, heightens the conflict stating he'll use everything at his disposal to impede the invading force.

In the end each of them will decide how far they're willing to go to protect their family...in Shadows of the Past.
