Southern author Thomas Raven's debut is an intriguing science fiction tale set in the north Georgia mountains. Agent Robert Wheeler, a helicopter pilot for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation who believes that life has treated him unfairly, is about to see just how bad things can get. On loan to a rural Sheriff's Department, he's kidnapped and held hostage in an elaborate compound underneath Blood Mountain. He thinks his captors are run of the mill pot growers but they claim to be from the distant future on a mission to save the accumulated knowledge of all mankind. Agent Wheeler has to stay alive long enough to determine the truth and make a decision that could alter the course of human existence.
