The Chronoplane Wars Omnibus

by Crawford Kilian

Discover Crawford Kilian's gripping science fiction series, The Chronoplane Wars, now brought together in one captivating boxset for the first time. The Empire of Time Jerry Pierce was the Intertemporal Agency’s most experienced operative – a time-traveller on the old subway train that whisked him back and forth through the ages. He’d already successfully altered history in many ways, but his biggest assignment lay ahead. Seventy-four years ahead to be exact. Because somehow, someway – nuclear war, alien attack, no one really knew – Earth was going to be destroyed. It was every Intertemporal Agent's goal to prevent such a disaster. But in this case, the problem had become Pierce's own special assignment… The Fall of the Republic Set in the mid-1990s, the world is on the verge of collapse. Several nations have already descended into chaos and the US is now only months away from anarchy. But the discovery of Trainables - a select portion of the teenage population who can be trained to read, comprehend, and remember vast amounts of data like a computer - staves off disaster for a little longer. Jerry Pierce was one such Trainable. A colonel barely out of his teens, Pierce learned early not to let anything stand between him and doing a job right. And a good thing too, because it wasn’t just civilization he was fighting to preserve, it was all Mankind and planet Earth itself. Rogue Emperor After the world collapsed and the chronoplanes, alternate dimensions that were snapshots from Earth’s history, were discovered, the International Federation was formed and these downtime chronoplanes were controlled and exploited by Trainables. Gerald Pierce is sent to Ahania, the chronoplane imitating Rome at the height of the Empire. After completing a routine assignment to keep the world on course with the IF’s plan, he witnesses the Emperor's assassination by a modern rocket launcher. Now Pierce must work quickly to figure out who is behind the assassination plot... Crawford Kilian was born in New York in 1941.
