My heartfelt thanks go to Tom Peashey for editing my work, the commas (or lack of them) must drive him mad; and to Jenny Ellis for her wonderful design of the cover of this book.

Author’s Note

Welcome to Book 2 in the MARINE series. For those who may not have read the first one; then may I respectfully suggest that you do. If you don’t feel you can wait, perhaps it would be right for me to introduce the veteran Sgt. Ed Ryan to you.

In Book 1, we first met Ed as he left the US Navy Hospital with the results of his serious knee injury. After many years active service, his knee replacement, although suitable for every-day walking about, was no longer considered up to the purpose for the kind of activity that an active US Marine would expect from it. Given leave by his Colonel to consider his future (he turned down a training role) he heads south to meet an old friend and ex-marine with a boat for a short task off the coast of Florida. This, he felt would give him time and space to consider what he could do with his life. He never got there. After a surreal meeting in a diner as he drove south, he finds himself recruited by a mysterious man called Michael. He joins an equally mysterious organisation that appears to be some form of Law Enforcement Agency patrolling the channels of time itself. It is impossible, he was told, to send a human either backwards or forwards in time, so the agency utilises proxy humans, generated by the advanced technology at their disposal. They are fully human, genetically based on the original, but generated and improved to exist in the target time-frame only. The agent simply transfers their personality and memories through to the proxy and work it as if it was their own body.
