148,95 kr. 'The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.' Einstein. What does it take to change history and destroy our reality? Change events on the same date, 4 July, in six different years. The Time Patrol must send an agent back to each day, with just 24 hours for each to defeat the Shadow's plan to disrupt our time-line, creating a time tsunami and wiping our present out. Doc travels to the 4th of July, 1776, one of the most important dates in American history where forces are at work in Philadelphia to add a Declaration of Emancipation to the Declaration of Independence. Moms goes to Monticello exactly 50 years later, in 1826. The day on which two of the architects of that document and the country, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, die within hours of each other. What secrets do they hold close on their deathbeds? And who else might know about them? Roland is at Gettysburg, the day after the Confederacy reaches its 'high water mark' with Pickett's charge on the 3rd of July 1863. But on the 4th, both armies stare at each other on a rainy day, waiting for the other to make a move. What if the Union attacks? Ivar is in the same war, in the same year, at a victory that is over-shadowed by Gettysburg in terms of publicity, but of more value strategically, when Grant takes Vicksburg on the 4th of July, 1863. But what if this great victory turns into the Union's greatest shame? On the 4th of July 1976, before there was a 'War on Terror', the Israelis launch a daring raid to free hostages at Entebbe. There is only one casualty in their force, the older brother of the current Prime Minister; what if that had turned out differently? Eagle is there to make sure it doesn't. Scout travels furthest back, to the 4th of July 362 B.C. to the Battle of Mantinea in Greece, in which Sparta is defeated by Thebes in a Pyrrhic victory, leading to a third party uniting Greece: Philip II, father of a man who would change history: Alexander The Great. But what if Sparta wins the battle? The Shadow's plan is to disrupt our time-line, creating a time tsunami and wiping our present out.>"Quantum Leap on steroids!" Book List

158,95 kr. How do you solve the problem of scarce resources and over-population with one devastating act? Publishers Weekly: "The action is crisp with a great job of establishing a sense of reality-and real danger-by mixing current fears about killer diseases with a clear-eyed view of the Army." Assigned to escort SNN's ace reporter Conner Young, who's accompanying a US Army Special Forces A-team as part of the UN's peacekeeping mission in Angola, former Green Beret Dave Riley finds himself undertaking his most dangerous and thrilling mission yet. In the war-torn jungles of Africa, the team becomes infected with a terrible disease known as 'Z', which kills within days and is now on the verge of an uncontrollable outbreak. The shocking truth about the virus points to a mysterious diamond cartel based on the Namibian coast. In a desperate race against time, Riley and the assault team must secure the only antidote before it is destroyed. Bookpage: "Take an original look at a simmering world hot spot, and generates a lot of suspense along the way. A winner on all points." Library Journal: "A heart-pounding thriller about the emergence of a deadly ebola-like virus. The panorama of modern warfare and the details of hand-to-hand combat encounters add excitement. Inventive, entertaining, and realistic adventure. Highly recommended." Kirkus: "A ripping good biotech/military thriller that plausibly depicts the high costs of combating unseen enemies. An absorbing and well-written series."
