STORYLINE:

"Rumfeld Dixon, CEO of Dyna-Tyme Genetics, is convinced that the United States is on a destructive course of action. With Federal policies fueled by corporate greed and corrupt political decisions, he sees no hope for economic recovery in the foreseeable future. Fortunately, Dyna-Tyme Genetics has developed a unique method to send a human back in time. Carleton Venable’s familial ties to the Civil War make him the perfect candidate to travel to 1862 and make changes that will affect the outcome of the war and transform the American way of life. Some intensive training and a simple injection is all it takes to send him back 150 years. Arriving safely, events begin to transpire as planned… for a while. It is only then that things start to go wrong… horribly wrong! Will he be able to save the American way of life he loves in the present and help in the past?"

Biography:

FRED H. HOLMES was born and raised on a small dairy farm in the Finger Lakes region of Western New York. After attending college and majoring in chemistry at RIT, Fred became a successful cash register salesman and was transferred to Atlanta, Georgia.

Fred fell in love with the south and quickly adapted to southern ways. His company transferred him to the home office, this time in New Jersey.   In the early seventies he found himself in Dallas, Texas being swept off his feet by the Texas charm and beauty of his soon to be wife, Mary and part of a thriving wholesale and retail dart business. Fred was always an avid reader and a passion for writing combined with a lack of instructional books on the booming game of darts prompted him to write three successful books on darts.

In 2001 they sold the dart business and in 2005 Fred and Mary moved to Costa Rica where they are now retired and living in a small town west of San Jose.

Fred now has the time to write full-time and his experiences in the north and south as well as a passion for history and science fiction have led to this book, and we hope many more.

Fred is the author of Return to Sender and Escape from Helmira.

REVIEWS:

"What a long strange and FUN trip this has been!! Loved the book, loved the concept...great read!" By gone south on May 9, 2015 "I could not finish this book in a hurry....I loved reading a few chapters and just contemplating the possibilities for a day. This is more than a time travel book. I don't usually read a book more than once, but I will make an exception. Mr. Holmes chose an interesting time in history to suggest changes made via time travel. In this time of turmoil it is entertaining to consider what we might change via a "splice in time" as presented in this book. I highly recommend spending time with this novel....you won't regret the way it changes your view and makes one think...."what if"???
