Some situations just call for a few psychopaths. They have limited emotional responses, no empathy, and they thrive on danger. When the situation calls for a fearless action hero, look no further. But what do you do in the 28th century when you desperately need psychopaths, but you’ve long since eradicated the condition? Fortunately, you have time travel. When you need some real live movie action heroes but there are no psychopaths available, you go back in time to medically “manufacture” them, so to speak, so they’ll be grown, trained and ready to report to work today as “Rambo.”

In this skewering satire of twenty-first century America, our lives are being covertly observed by people from the year AD 2754, just as we have been observed since the beginning of time. The future world’s population now lives in oceans across the globe and the time continuum, where they have no hunger, or countries, or religion. They even, finally, designed a new world order to promote lasting peace.

There are no more history books. Instead, Historians travel back in time to attend historically significant events, and report on things as they actually happened, not has traditional history has always told us they happened. Then they upload these reports to the Educator Database, which 28th century history teachers use to create their course curriculum.

One Historian unthinkingly and illegally says two words to two AD 2021 “locals” in a misstep that could potentially trigger a disastrous alternate history. To repair this “Anomaly” and return the time continuum and recorded history to its original state, 28th century world leaders gather an emergency team, which includes one regular Historian, a local psychologist, and four psychopathic Historians, called “Heroes,” whom they dispatch to do the dirtiest jobs.

It will take more than four action heroes to put the time continuum back into place. Historian Avid must learn, and then teach, 28th century psychotherapy techniques to psychologist Helen. They all hope that she can then dissuade her disturbed client from murdering an adolescent who is supposed to grow up to be a highly consequential historical figure. Those two careless words spoken by that other time traveler have now put the boy’s life at risk, and threaten to change the future of the world.

In 1536, Henry and Anne are at the mercy of influences outside their control, explosively incompatible, and caught in a marriage that ends in betrayal so shocking that Anne requires lifetimes to recover.

Henry, seemingly in defense of Anne (but more likely acting out of "stubborn perverseness," she observes), terrorizes England and decrees widespread political murder in order to protect her. Ultimately, to Anne's horror, this once passionate husband turns on her and has her executed as well.

Threads, a reincarnation fantasy, opens with Anne's execution. Her fury at her husband s betrayal has enough momentum to survive centuries, but in Threads she learns that she has been assigned a hard task: she must review their history together through a number of past lives and find it within herself to forgive him. This may prove difficult and take some time. The husband in question is Henry Tudor, the notorious Henry VIII. The narrator is the stubborn, volatile Anne Boleyn, who is not at all inclined to forgive. It is a very unusual love story.

In 1973 Holly meets and falls in love with Trevor, a roadie for a famous British rock and roll band. From that moment, Holly’s dreams of marriage, children, and a happy life are finally within her grasp.

Trevor takes her with him on tour and introduces her to the circus-like backstage world of Rock and Roll. When she steps onto the band bus, she walks into a colorful, exciting adventure in a world completely different from the life that awaits her back home, where she works at a low-paying job, chases cockroaches with a shoe, and sleeps to escape the hunger.

On the bus she is almost immediately tested and forced to publicly declare what matters to her most in a partner. Is it money and fame? Or love, with none of the above?

Holly is tested again when a member of the band develops feelings for her. He is Trevor’s childhood friend, often sought after because of his wealth and fame, just as Holly is sought after only for her looks.

When his feelings for Holly suddenly and very publicly come to light, they all must grapple with what will become, not a love “triangle,” but a love “circle” that threatens to break all of their hearts.
