This was the New American society.

This country recognized no enemies, had no allies, and knew no war. The seminal event that resulted in the present American situation was called the “apocalypse,” a slang term for the Hydra-plague, which had killed the world, leaving only this New America in its wake.

Welcome to the world of Thomas Smiles, a college student in the year 2055. He is tormented by memories of either past or future events that should be impossible for him to know about. Fearing insanity, and wondering if he may be reincarnated, Thomas seeks out a friend in a mental institution. In this modern deadhouse, he learns the secrets and the true ambition of The Lords of Time -- those who have learned to control the chain that keeps men grounded in one dimension of the space-time continuum.

As Thomas learns, The Lords of Time may have much knowledge, but they do not have much wisdom…
