A Ripple in Time: It started as a routine Miami to Charlotte flight for the passengers, crew, and Federal Air Marshal Stephen Mason. But a freak storm over the Atlantic propels the airliner unexplainably back in time to the early eighteenth century. Finding a way back, if that's even feasible, is the least of their worries. Can they survive and adapt? The Planters: It's 1720, Charles Town, Carolina Colony, a time and place fraught with hardships and hazards. Carving out a life here will be challenging, especially for these modern-day transplants. The plan is grow, harvest, sell, and make life as comfortable as possible. New to a new world, can Mason, Karen, Jeremy, and Lisa navigate the hard realities they are only beginning to understand? The Punishers: It's now 1723, Charlestown, South Carolina Colony. Mason and the three other remaining survivors have built their rice plantation into a thriving enterprise. But when an opportunity arises to revisit an old adversary, Mason embarks on a simple fact-finding mission. The risks are minimal until an unforeseen turn puts Mason and his families' future in jeopardy. With so much at stake, can Mason adapt and achieve his ultimate goal?
Victor Zugg is a former US Air Force officer and OSI special agent who served and lived all over the world. Writing has always been a big part of his life, no matter what the job. While serving in the military most of his writing was job related. But he also found time to publish a number of nonfiction magazine articles, all historical in nature. He traveled great distances to research the material first hand. More recently he’s turned his writing skills to fiction, to the type he enjoys reading—largely dystopian and survival adventures. Given his extensive travels and opportunities to settle anywhere, it is ironic that he now resides in Florida, only a few miles from his hometown of Orlando. He credits the warm temperatures for that decision.
