    About this ebook

    Wherever Lane ends up is where he will live out the remainder of his days. In part one, Lane finds himself in a dystopian world in the 39th century where nations are obsolete and the earth is ruled by giant corporations. World history has been eliminated and 98% of humanity are worker slaves.

    Since there is no return trip back to the 23rd century, in part two Lane reenters the capsule and the story moves forward almost 1000 years. Inside the capsule it is still the year 3859. But while time is moving slowly outside the capsule, time has moved with near light speed, inside the capsule. When Lane and his friends exit the capsule, Lane believes the year is around 4754. The world outside the capsule is even stranger than it was in 3859. As the story unfolds, Lane eventually learns that the future of the human race may depend on him and his friends.
    ***

    In the year 2234, scientists have successfully achieved forward time travel. The Research Institute at Turtle Lake, North Dakota has spent over thirty years working on the project. Lane Mason would be the first human to enter the capsule. Lane knew when he volunteered for the project that he would never be able to return.

    When he exits the capsule in 3853 to find a brutal world where the human race has been enslaved by huge corporations, Lane regrets leaving the capsule. Corporate slaves make up 96% of the human race and spend their lives working in slave prisons and are used to provide human organs to the privileged elite.

    Lane barely survives for a year in the prison farm. He considers starting a rebellion but he soon realizes that any attempt to start a rebellion would be futile. The corporations have gradually and completely wiped out the real history of the human race. Prisoners have no idea that humans were once free. But even amid the brutality of an enslaved planet, love still finds a way. Humans are human after all.

    Lane’s only hope is to escape the prison and return to the capsule. Although he can’t return home to his time, if he is able to escape, he can travel forward in time in the hope that the distant future will be better. But what would a world in the distant future, far beyond the prisons of the 39th century be like? Would the prisons still exist? Would the human race still exist? Would earth itself still exist? Lane decides that he is better off dying as a free man in an unknown future than living as a slave.

    This story has two distinct parts: Part One takes place on Earth, in the 39th century. Part Two takes place in the distant future; far beyond the brutality of the 39th century.

    This is a story about the strength of love that endures in spite of an endless series of hardships. Above all, it is a story about courage and the persistent human spirit.

    This book contains sexual situations and is recommended for young adults.
