"Time is nature's way of keeping everything from happening at once." --Edwin Limmer It is a fateful day when Lucas Hawthorn awakes in his own home to find Edwin Limmer standing before him. Lucas first met old man Limmer back in 1952. Only now Limmer is much younger--and the idea that someone can actually age backward in time is almost too much for Lucas and his wife, Maude, to handle. But Limmer is here to turn the Hawthorns' Kansas home into a time-travel depot for the Whispers, mysterious beings from the future. The Whispers mission? To find the beginning of time. So the Hawthorns land smack-dab in the middle of a drama that spans history, past and future: from ancient Troy to colonial Kentucky to a Camelot of the next millennium, where a murderous tyrant thirsts for immortality. He just needs time . . .

Summer Land

They were a courageous new breed of settlers, seasoned by the Revolution and tempered by the fires of frontier wars, who struck out across a vast continent to win the West. From the Cumberland Gap and Ohio headwaters, they funneled through Kentucky, enduring the bloody massacres of avenging Cherokee and the threat of a Spanish tyranny that forbade them to cross the Mississippi. For somewhere ahead in the shadows of the setting sun was the land where they would forge a legend as powerful as their dreams.For Christopher Post, it was a dream of wealth and empire in the forbidden Spanish territories. For Luther Ferris and his wife Kate, it was a dream of taming a land where no white man had been before. For his sister Ellie, it was a dream of the man who would fulfill the promise of her womanhood at the end of the wilderness road, in a land of peace won by courage and blood, their Summerland.

Jubilation Gap

Tucked back in a northerly loop of the Cimarron, Jubilation was the last respectable waterin' hole within 300 miles, and the rules of its 27 saloons were simple: a man was expected to pay for what he bought and do no more damage than he could cover with the cash in his poke. But to the Wednesday Ladies Reading Circle, uptown Jubilation was an abomination. And Kansas had just voted dry. Iron Jack Fuller bossed Jubilation's whoopy-juice mills with hired muscle and hot lead. As far as he knew, any change in uptown rules had as much chance as a snowball in Dante's down under. But he hadn't figgered on the grit of a pretty schoolma'am from Illinois, or the prodigal talents of the West's most unexpected munitions expert. When the time came to strap on the six-guns and take a stand, the biggest explosion to hit Kansas was just seconds away. And no matter what happened after that, the best little town for a drinkin' man would never be the same again.
