  2025 scientists plan to time-travel to Eden to warn Adam and Eve and thus prevent the fall, putting an end to all evil and disease in the world. But they can only travel 200 years, more or less, at a time. 
  Having gained the needed financial support from wealthy financier, Mark Lewis, the scientists manage to build the first time machine in which three of them take off on their imposing mission. 
  They visit six  different historical time periods including: 
  *The California Gold Rush of 1849 
  *Colonial Philadelphia of 1775 
  *The Renaissance 
  *Legendary Camelot 
  Each historical time period they visit points in some way to the true answer they are seeking. But they ignore the obvious and go on blindly with their mission. 
  At one point, they are pulled forward unexpectedly to their future where robots serve and are forced to fight in a senseless war (WWIII).  Will they escape?  And will they ever come to learn the true answer to the problem of sin and evil in the world?

  The tempest of the EMP is here . . . But another storm is brewing. 
   
   
   
  Frank has been able to guide his neighborhood watch along a narrow path between order and chaos, but most of his problems have been caused by people. Now, as the clouds darken over the Gulf of Mexico, Mother Nature is going to take a crack at him. 
   
   
   
  The arrival of the storm has only one benefit; Frank can travel the empty roads and get things done. Using his newest off-road vehicle, a Mercedes Unimog 416, he probes North Pointe to find some missing allies. He also discovers new enemies in a troubled trailer park. 
   
   
   
  But the biggest enemy of all remains time. There aren't enough hours to organize new people, expand his territory, and set up proper defenses. This gives opportunity to a small group of militia-types, who aren't big on the old laws. 
   
   
   
  Is a hurricane coming? There are no weather reports, TV coverage, or app notifications, so who can say for sure? 
   
   
   
  As the clock ticks down, and the massive storm comes in, all Frank's preparations are good for almost zilch against the new threat . . .  
   
    
   
  This time, the ocean itself will test his community.

  "Calek's Tale" Book One - A...

  A boy named Calek lives in the town of Refuge on a quaint island in the northern Great Lakes. Growing up, he constantly heard stories about what happened on the Mainland before he was born, a huge conflagration that engulfed the entire world. All that remained were the Forsaken - drooling, mindless monsters who found their way to the island in boats, killing and maiming like rabid dogs. The people of Refuge fought them off with much loss of life, surviving as the last remnants of humanity and dreaming of the day they will repopulate the Mainland and start the world anew. 
  Sometimes Calek wonders if all of that really happened. It's what he's always been told, but maybe Hezekiah, the Spiritual Leader who runs things on the island, made the whole thing up. It would be a good way to keep people afraid so they continued to follow his Revelations. But if none of that happened, what about the rows of graves in the Refuge cemetery, all from the same year? 
  When he's not pondering these mysteries, Calek's mind is filled with visions about the Old World, and how ancient things can be put together in entirely new ways. Because he has a bright, shining gift. His father knows how dangerous that gift could turn out to be. But Calek is just eleven years old and his dreams will not leave him alone... 
  Calek's Tale is the first book in a new trilogy written by Wayne Faust. 
  With vivid descriptions of the northern Great Lakes (Faust spent several summers performing on Mackinac Island), richly-drawn characters, and a plot full of flashbacks, mystery, and suspense, this book will keep you listening until the end.
