Dark Future
It’s June, 1963 and Jack Specter—writer/producer of the Twilight Zone-like television series The Third Eye—is going to mourning a wife lost to cancer, a daughter lost to politically-powerful relatives, haunted by memories of war and fiery holocaust.
But a phone call from his only remaining friend soon draws him into the heart of a bizarre hurled across time into a dark and terrible future, to the bleak, hopeless world of 2023.
Is it possible for a writer to rewrite the past, a dreamer to re-dream Creation Itself? Specter will learn the answer as he searches for his now-grown daughter and comes face to face with a cosmic entity that holds the key to time, space, life, death—and a possible rebirth for all humankind.
