A Novel of Secrets, Time, and Forbidden Truth

In the summer of 1984, Martha and Harold Gunderson's peaceful Minnesota farm life is shattered when their prize dairy cow is found mutilated—eyes, tongue, and nose removed with impossible precision. When two more cattle suffer the same fate, Harold keeps night watch... only to be lifted thirty feet in the air by a blinding white light.

After this encounter, mysterious Men in Black arrive—asking questions no one should know, vanishing without explanation. Harold begins writing in perfect Egyptian hieroglyphs, a language he's never studied. As Martha investigates, she makes a terrifying discovery: her husband isn't who he claims to be.

Harold confesses he's a time traveler from humanity's distant future, the true architect of Egypt's pyramids. The cattle mutilations were messages from his people. Now both his own kind and government agents from Area 51 are hunting him for his knowledge.

Martha must choose between the man she loves and the life she knows. Should she help Harold escape to his future, or fight to keep him in her present? The answer may change the course of human history.
