We’ll soon find out what all of you did to change the timeline this severely. Yeager, fly this ship down to Washington.” ordered Williamson. As the Einstein descended, the nuclear wasteland of Earth was even more disturbing than what it appeared to be from orbit. The Great Lakes area was black; the lakes appeared nearly devoid of water. Chicago and Detroit were no longer there, they were so completely destroyed it appeared they had never existed at all. Human activity appeared to be almost non-existent. As the ship flew further east, the worse everything appeared. Major battles looked to have been fought in Philadelphia, New York City, Boston, and Washington, DC. Williamson ordered Yeager to land the Einstein outside the Pentagon, or what was left of it, since the Pentagon appeared to be falling in on itself. Yeager mentioned that there appeared to be some minor power fluctuations coming from somewhere inside the military headquarters, quite possibly the basement. Everyone left the Einstein, and headed for the Pentagon computer lab, which was in the basement, and had a separate power supply. Major Johnson and his men guarded the time travelers as they made their way through the building. The Pentagon was in a horrible mess. Some of the corridors had collapsed, and one side of the building was completely destroyed. Arriving in the basement, the time travelers were shocked that the air conditioning was running, and everything was devoid of dust. In the computer lab, a lone computer was running with a screensaver. The computer appeared to be an early twenty-first century relic, of the Hewlett-Packard variety. Doctor Hawking walked over to it, sat down in the chair at the desk, and touched the mouse. He looked up the time, date, and when the computer was last used, and then said, “Someone has been using this computer for a few years. Regular entries in the Word program have been made, and it appears as if someone has managed to hack into the super secret classified files of the FBI and CIA.” “Before you accessed the computer, and told us all of this, I would have assumed everyone here would have been thrown back to the dark ages, and wouldn’t know how to use computers,” remarked Erickson.
Book description: A cloned scientist discovers time is actually fluid; past, present, and future all exist at the same time. What he doesn't know, is if the current timeline can change when something is changed in the past. The US government wants him to find out. The time travelers meet all sorts of 20th century characters, from the Titanic to Anne Frank to JFK. However, someone is trying to stop them from their future who is determined to stop time travel. Once they return to their present, things may not be what they appear.
