What if America’s most advanced warship was sent back to 1941—not to stop World War II, but to guarantee it happens?
Time Shift is a genre-bending military thriller that launches the USS John C.

Code-named Operation Babylonian, their objective is brutally use future knowledge and 21st-century technology to shape the coming war so that humanity survives it.
Captain Harsh Yoder must forge an alliance with Roosevelt, Churchill, and America’s 1942 high command, revealing technologies they can scarcely jet fighters, stealth aircraft, precision missiles, advanced medicine, and satellite-driven intelligence. But as the Allies plan radical new strategies, Germany, Japan, and the Soviet Union begin adapting as well—and the future starts slipping away.
While global powers maneuver, the crew faces their own unraveling. A mysterious cellular degeneration spreads through the ship. A Navy SEAL battles trauma and guilt. A priest confronts the cost of modern warfare. And Pete Peters, a time-displaced NSA analyst, risks everything to save a woman trapped in a violent 1940s marriage—altering both of their destinies in ways he cannot predict.
As the Stennis reshapes the battlefield, the world races toward a future far more volatile than the one they left behind.
Epic in scale, intimate in its characters, and relentless in momentum, Time Shift asks the ultimate If you could change history—should you? And what would it cost?
