A plot to plunge Earth into a dark age, timeless immortals, a self-aware child of one, indecipherable scratching filling a dozen legal pads, a president transported to alternate futures, free electricity from Heaven, and a showdown on Arctic ice.

Is there room for one more alternate future where JFK lives? The author imagines his real-life friend, who died in Vietnam, as the reluctant hero called upon to prevent the event that would shatter the nation and mark the beginning of an unrelenting spiral into a thousand-year dark age. Beginning in the ether realm, the story threads its way from Afghanistan to the southern U.S., from Vietnam to the concert halls of San Francisco, and from the age of Camelot to one that might have been.
