Unlikely heroes: Two kids and a Giant
JOURNEYING WITHIN ENEMY LINES

Kenneth and Savannah, humans from another time, have been taken – quite against their will – to the 73rd century, to find a mysterious and dangerous man named Hinjo Junta. All past and future histories point to him being the cause of destruction of the human race – and of the known civilization.

With scholarly “journeyman” Unquill, a giant, as their guide, Kenneth and Savannah must find Hinjo before it’s too late. And with Savannah suddenly learning of Unquill’s dark identity, and with the Constabulary and the members of The Black Brigade in hot pursuit, the three discover they must work together, to survive, and to fulfill their destinies.

Will Kenneth and Savannah succeed in their mission to find the true Hinjo Junta? What role will Unquill play in protecting the two underlings, and in preserving future history?

Excerpt
Kenneth crossed his arms. “I don't know. I mean, could you explain what all of this means?”

“All of this?” Hensen asked. He waved his hands about, indicating the whole room. “That will take a while. I'm not really sure what you mean. Let's just confine ourselves to this much: Unquill, you are not Hinjo. Not yet. But you will be. You will become Hinjo Junta.”

“To prevent this, the council has blacklisted you from the human race. Except, what they don't realize, and what they have always failed to realize, is that what they have done has always happened, and will always happen. They act with the confines of the predictions made by future historians some years ago.

“However, small one, here's the really important part. Are you listening? You shouldn't be here. Neither should you, small one with the long hair. Neither of you are anywhere recorded in future history. That makes you the wild card in this equation. You two might be the unexpected salvation the world desperately needs!”

THE FUTURE IS IN DANGER AND TIME IS RUNNING OUT This story is a dazzling tale of intrigue and mystery, centered on a young girl and boy who find themselves whisked away to save the future of humankind. Meet Kenneth, a regular school kid from the 21st century. All he wants to do is skip gym class and play video games after school. Meet Savannah, a classmate that Kenny would rather not be stuck with. An intelligent girl, she is fond of poetry and insulting the boys. As they wait for their bus home after school, a rather strange occurrence takes place. They are picked up by a giant in a spacesuit, who proceeds to take them 50 centuries into the future. Kenny and Savannah must work with Unquill Hester to save over one hundred trillion lives, and prevent the destruction of the human race. Only then will they be allowed to return home. They had better hurry up though, for their time is fast running out.... If you wish to read more, download now! BONUS PREVIEW IF YOU BUY THIS BOOK! EXCERPT "Good morning, significant citizen," the man said. "I trust you are well?" The words came to Kenneth as though they traveled a long way to reach him. He put a hand to his forehead, already despising the headache that he felt growing there. "What?" was all Kenneth could utter. The back of his eyes felt like they were being punctured by shards of glass and he blinked his eyes in rapid succession, trying to will away the pain. "I am your introductory guide to the 73rd century. My designation is Unquill Hester. Please be at ease. You were chosen out of an infinite number of lives in the time stream because you are special." The man, larger than any man Kenneth could remember seeing, looked delighted. He couldn't stop grinning. A light danced in the man's eyes. He looked to Kenneth like a scientist who'd just discovered a particularly fascinating insect in its natural habitat. "Say what?" Kenneth violently rubbed at his face with both hands. The man bowed before Kenneth. His hair flopped over the front of his head in a way that Kenneth could not help but find comical. "Ahh, yes, do forgive me. It always slips my mind that time transport subjects often experience a certain amount of—shall we say, disorientation—upon entering another point in time. Please don't be alarmed. It is not my intention to cause you distress. You have been chosen, you and one other. The other remains asleep at present. Shall I wake her for you?" "The—the other. You mean Savannah?" Kenneth didn't think he liked the idea of being alone in the future with a girl who had just got done insulting him only a few hours before. He started thinking of all the things he would say to her. Many of them he would not repeat to his parents. "Is that her designation? A geographical area that is neither plains nor forest, yet a mixture of both. This land type vanished completely from record around the 30th century when—" "Let her sleep," Kenneth said. "I'm hungry, and sore. You have anything to eat?"

They Have to Change the Future – FAST WHEN IN JAKARTA... Unquill, Kenneth and Savannah fly to Jakarta in search of answers to the plot discovered in Alexandria. As the Third Council convene to find the pieces of the puzzle that is Hinjo Junta, Unquill tries to find reasons within himself of why he would turn into the man that will be the symbol of self-destruction to humans in the future. On their journey, Kenneth and Savannah make a path into a destiny that has now become their choice. As they try to make sense of their purpose, Savannah experiences a change in herself she's finding hard to control, while Kenneth watches and worries. And all around them still, danger and plotting thickens... If you wish to read more, download now! EXCERPT THE MAN WAITING FOR them at the western entrance held a sign. Written in black marker were the words Hester and Party. Savannah thought the word "party" ironic since she hadn't felt like doing anything of the sort since arriving in the future. For one, no one's about. All the other passengers had departed with their waiting parties. And this spot seemed to be the most lonesome of all entrances. Also, it became her task to carry the cans of gray nutrients they had received in Alexandria and her hands had become sore. She tried switching the bag from one hand to the other. This only temporarily relieved the pain she felt from the tight band of plastic digging into her skin. One can had already been emptied by Kenneth; another was half-empty. Four full cans remained. Thinking of eating the dreary, dull food once more made her pine for her mother's supper table where she could eat steaming hot tomato soup with oyster crackers. So she wasn't in a party mood. Not at all. The man lowered the sign and stepped forward upon seeing Unquill and the two children. He wore a Hawaiian shirt buttoned up halfway, showing a thick mat of chest hair. Loose sweat pants hung about his legs. He had pushed up a pair of sunglasses into his jet-black hair. He had dark skin, not as dark as the men waiting outside Linso's tent, yet not as light as Unquill's own skin. “You are Hester Unquill, right?” the man inquired. Unquill stopped short. Savannah looked up to see a bewildered expression on his face. To her, men holding placards at airports was nothing new. The situation was different for Unquill. He pushed Savannah and Kenneth behind him. Savannah peered around one of his legs that was as big as a tree trunk. The back of his leg smelled of leaves, she distinctly thought. Unquill said, “Yes, that's me.” The sign fell to the ground as the man pulled a weapon from his pants pocket. Download and discover why readers are raving about G.J. Winters.

"The Golden Century must come to an end..." A PLOT IS IN PLACE TO DESTROY OUR FUTURE’S WORLD Things are coming to a blow in the 73rd century, and guess who stumbled upon the plot? Some people in the government and the brigade are starting to realize that defeating the rebels in Madagascar is just the start of an impending war. It seems that the uprising in Africa isn’t the only plan of the rebels to destroy the Universal Solar Government or their alliance with the alien race. Things are in motion to push both parties to war and a stolen shipment of a powerful mineral and the Madagascar fiasco are just small pieces of the puzzle. Unquill, Kenneth and Savannah continue in a race to unravel the discovered plot while wrestling with their inner demons.

EXCERPT Errant bits of trash had gathered against the back wall of the mosque. What looked to Kenneth like a book page had crumpled up into a ball before wedging itself between a rusted green metal canister that bore a red flammable symbol and a small metal box with a steel latch. On top of the metal box lay a book jacket, turned upside-down. Kenneth turned it over, only to find more of the weird writing he could not hope to read. On an interior flap of the book jacket was a picture of a serious-looking man with a long, uncombed white beard. Kenneth almost laughed at how absurd the man looked compared with his stern expression. He put the jacket down where he'd found it and followed Muhammed around the side of the building to the front door. The door lay open, held in place by a thumb of rubber nudged under the bottom. Kenneth strode in first, not sure what he would see. He pulled back a translucent white curtain that separated a reception area from what lay further beyond. For a moment he thought he might see a group of people kneeling on the ground, chanting their devotions. He hadn't expected to see blood smeared all over the walls.

She took in a long, deep breath and then let it out all at once. She said, “Tomorrow I may not be alive.” Unquill continued lying on his side, listening to the sounds of the insects all around him. A cricket hopped in front of his face. He did not notice it. Kaloa Syncrate said in a solemn voice, “I've heard about your designation. Enemy of humanity, isn't that a kicker? I'll be the second, if all goes well. You see, there's a plan in place once the computer comes back online. We never expected it to remain offline forever. Once it comes back online, things will happen very fast. The connections are still active. No one has stopped trying to access the central computer. “By now, I think you're wondering why your face appeared on the screen as Hinjo Junta, haven't you? I don't know how much information you've been able to gather in the last few days since all this started. Since you are an enemy of humanity, though, I can tell you easily enough. Once the computer comes back online, there will be nowhere for either of us to hide. My crimes will be revealed to the world, just as your location will become immediately apparent to anyone with reliable sources of information. Perhaps I should explain, though.” Unquill, who felt a growing sense of disquiet, said to her, “Perhaps you should.” “We—the organization I belong to—have arranged a series of incidents across the world aimed at a singular objective. It's clear that the Soonseen are ready to fight with each other. Clear, at least, to anyone who has paid attention to the movements of ships in orbit. They have been evaluating conditions on the surface. They have never done so before. It is very probable, judging by this behavior, that they are preparing for their conflict to take place on the ground..." Download and discover why readers are raving about G.J. Winters.

"We think we have the power to choose, but we do not. We are merely Fate's playthings." WHAT IF YOU HOLD THE POWER TO CHANGE THE FUTURE OF THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE? In the 73rd century, a gleaming, progressive, highly evolved civilization, Unquill, a member of the Temporal Constabulary, went back in time to take two children – Kenneth and Savannah – for the purpose of helping them find a future renegade. In future histories, it has been written that the two young heroes succeed in finding Hinjo Junta, thereby helping the Universal Solar Government rid itself of the future leader of the revolution. Things change, however, when, instead of locating Hinjo, the Universal Solar Government, thru its Council of Thirds, discover that the children’s presence in the future muddled future history and introduced, unknowingly, the Zeta Disruption. The Zeta Disruption, a mythical theory, supposes that it is possible for people to change the course of history and shape the entire world based on choices and actions that disturb the time-stream. Now that the Disruption has been triggered and set in motion, what will happen to all future histories..? Can the “significant beings”, Kenneth and Savannah, the children taken in by Unquill from the 21st century, save the entire human – and alien – civilization, from collapse..? If you wish to read more, download now! Excerpt Hensen laughed again. He held out a hand before, a hand which appeared so white the members of the council saw blue veins beneath the skin. “I can tell you who the Zeta Disruption is. The Zeta Disruption happens to be the two small ones citizen Hester brought into this period!” They are endowed with the ability to change the course of future history!” “Now, this is the part to pay attention. At this very moment, Unquill Hester and the two small ones are supposed to be talking to you in place of myself. Future history says that you have a conversation with citizen Hester yet decide to let him continue his work at the Constabulary in a limited fashion. Four days from now, he is captured after escaping his designated work zone. Citizen Hester is hidden from the notice of future historians- not an easy task- and it comes to pass that seven days after his capture, the two small ones die from temporal destabilization. That is what future history had to say about this incident.” “Had?” Vio asked. He blinked away the last vestiges of fatigue from his mind. The story proved sufficiently interesting to him to bring his mind into full awareness. Hensen Var continued, “Yes, had. The Zeta Disruption actually does have the power to choose. They- for both of them fit this description- can shape the entire world around them. Already, they have wrought changes that will impossible to calculate. Furthermore, they have introduced a paradox into the time stream. Shall I leave you to guess what it is? No? Well here it is: how is it that I remember future historians recording actions the small ones took, actions which never happened?” “Councilmen,” Hensen Var thundered, “We are in uncharted waters. Even I, with all my knowledge, cannot predict what will happen next, or how this paradox will resolve!” Download and discover why readers are raving about GJ Winters. Scroll up and get the book now!

Author

G. J. Winters

G.J. Winters “fell into” writing when a well-meaning teacher of his submitted his Creative Writing assignment for publication in the school paper. The local paper picked up the article and asked G.J. for publishing rights, to which the young G.J. agreed with some hesitation, as he felt “that wasn’t one of my best writings at the time.” The reality was that this article was written when G.J. was a junior in high school.The article, which was a fictionalized version of a local myth surrounding a famous abandoned house near a swamp, was an assignment turned in as part of a mid-term exam. The teacher, Miss Mendez, thought G.J.’s writing was “exemplary” and showed “natural, raw writing talent for a person his age." The assignment called for “providing details to a local urban myth – provide background, using a local resident’s POV, and close with a vague hint of authenticity and realism."The story, entitled “The Old Mansion by the Swamp,” appeared in the high school paper as a short story, but was later serialized in the local paper in 6 parts. G.J. added more characters and even a sub-story (which later became a story of its own, “I Was Shirley Massey” – a story which centered on a member of the fictional family who resided in the Massey Mansion in the late 70s and disappeared without a trace).With the success of both of his original series, G.J. thought to venture into writing longer stories, this time with futuristic themes, as he has always been fascinated with travelling through time, future crimes, apocalyptic themes, and stories set in civilizations from the future.G.J. identifies with sci-fi writers such as Isaac Asimov (“Kept me awake through most evenings in college.”) and Margaret Peterson Haddix (“My girlfriend at the time had fits of jealousy over my fanatical tendencies towards this author.”).G.J. holds a degree in Chemistry, is an intern at the R&D division of a pharmaceutical manufacturing company, and lives with girlfriend Deidre, a magazine editor.
