The Future Beckons!
Ray Perkins, twenty-third century war hero and former twenty-first century computer programmer, was just getting settled into his new life in the future when suddenly an unfortunate accident thrust him back into the past. Heartbroken, frantic, he was desperate to find a way to return to his true life and his true love, Zanther, the Empress of the Rockoids.
Perkins is obsessed with the gorgeous, exotic empress and his feelings for her transcend the depths of time and space. She too is in love with him but, sadly, their relationship is forbidden by Rockoid law and there's little chance they can ever truly be together.
But due to a twisted coincidence, Perkins gets his wish to return to the twenty-third century. A lot has changed in the short time since Perkins and Zanther came together, and forged a bond that helped to end a terrible war between their peoples. There are new threats to a fragile peace.
The most dangerous is a race of changelings called the Protectors. The Protectors are on a fanatic, holy campaign of galactic domination. It appears that nothing can stop them. On top of that, they have many well-paid and well-armed allies, forces that may not share their goals but certainly would stand to benefit from Protector control of the galaxy.
As chaos spreads and the Protectors and their allies extend their control over more and more planets, Perkins puts his amazing mental and physical skills to the test in order to fight the Protectors and save both his people and his beloved Zanther, who soon faces threats to her own life. The Protectors pursue Perkins relentlessly because, for reasons not fully understood, he is a crucial impediment to the success of their holy war. They will do anything to bring Perkins under their control...or they will kill him if he resists.
Will Ray Perkins be able to fight back? Will his love for Zanther blind him to what really needs to be done to defeat a ruthless and powerful enemy?
