WAR of the WILD WEST
The temporal war between the Council of Time Defense and the time-traveling intergalactic warlord Klomtoo has raged for decades, and generations. In the latest salvo, Klomtoo has launched a new and devastating offensive front. Not content with the mere enslavement of the population of Earth, he has vowed to destroy the particular foes who have most incurred his wrath - August and Mrs. A!!
As collateral damage, ten-year-old August is hurled back in time to the year 1866, where he meets an unlikely ally in Molly Pepper, a young sharpshooter whose unparalleled ability with firearms large and small would one day make her a legend of the Wild West. And the great Mrs. A herself - now called Barty Atherton, a youthful veteran of the Civil War whose own skills are only just beginning to bloom - has friends of her own, including a tribe of Lakota warriors led by a ruthless military genius named Crazy Horse.
In 1928, August and Mrs. A race against time, and the devastating effects of the fearsome Time-hammer, to locate the one piece of technology that might turn the tide in the war. Will they find it? And will their younger selves survive the devastating onslaught of the Klomtoon armada? As the fate of the Timeline hangs in the balance, can Mrs. A prevail in the greatest challenge of her life, against a creature with the combined knowledge of a million brains?
Only time will tell . . .
