About the Book

Spavin Lawson kept his promise to the united human population of 32nd Century Texas City.  He and his wife, Clarissa, had gathered the brightest minds they could find and put together the Technology Development Plan.  The Plan was a template to build a civilization based upon ecologically sound principles.  Unfortunately, the completion of The Plan required a population density that did not exist in the 32nd Century.  Cataclysmic events a millennium earlier had reduced humans to uncivilized tribes totaling fewer than ten thousand people in what was once North America. Unknown to the citizens of the new city, long lost humans who were struggling to survive on Mars and Luna also assisted in the development of The Plan.  A secret node on the Technology Development Plan was dedicated to the eventual reunification of all Humankind. 
Spavin could not entrust the future of his progeny and the human race to chance.  He knew that the two-hundred year plan would need a boost at the critical point of Reunification.  With his family and Shadow Warrior Nevlyn Bydman, he used his time dilator so he could guide the completion of The Plan and ensure Humankind would find better times.


About the Author

Gary B. Boyd spent his early years writing technical packets for manufacturing equipment training.  His love for writing became a passion after he retired.  Whether on the deck of his home near Beaver Lake, under the hardwood canopy that shades his Ozark Mountain cabin or sitting at the kitchen table, his laptop is always nearby so he can capture the characters that inhabit his tales and wring their stories from them.
Gary's career with an international manufacturing company provided him the opportunity to travel and meet a wide range of people, both private and public.   The behaviors of the people he encountered drove him to dig deeper into the human psyche.  Aside from the psycho-babble that he read, Gary found that all humans are driven by a desire for acceptance.  Acceptance is measured differently by each person; the desire for acceptance becomes the core of each person's character.   He discovered that each unique character demands a story.  Gary's goal is to capture as many of the stories as he can.
