"A Sam Dryden novel" - cover.

Sam Dryden lives quietly in a small coastal town in Southern California, buying and fixing up old houses. It's good physical work that he's come to love. But his peaceful life is shattered when he gets a phone call from an old friend in trouble. For FBI agent Marnie Calvert, it all begins at a secluded trailer in the Mojave Desert--the scene of a horrifying crime but also of an impossible and mysterious act of heroism. Determined to learn the truth, Calvert discovers information that leads her to Sam Dryden--an ex-Special Forces operative whose ordinary life has suddenly become anything but. Through their actions, Dryden and Calvert have unknowingly placed themselves in the cross-hairs of a frightening and dangerous enemy, the result of a generations-long conspiracy finally coming to fruition. What these people have is a technology that allows them to affect events before they even happen. How they are planning to use it, however, will result in the death of millions.
