Cross the proverbial Rubicon and don't look back, but be darn well sure you can handle what's on the other side. For battles of the heart and mind are far more difficult to fight than ones of the flesh. The special ops' mission takes a turn for the worse when Cpt. Eriksen, Sgt. Banks, modern woman - Kyla Marshall, and Germanic princess - Cassius think they are traveling back to our present day, same timeline. However, that ends up not being the case. The four immediately discover that the future they worked so hard to preserve has been changed into a world run by faithless individuals that truly believe in the idiom - 'survival of the fittest.' As the team maneuvers through the new timeline with all its tricky politics, mass corruption, and a fast approaching self-inflicted destruction, they learn the devastating truth - they were betrayed back in the first century by someone very close to them.
