"Krypton meets Star Wars without the Ewoks. Epic and poetic." Destiny is all. Unless it's going the wrong way... Time often abducts Captain Valeria Tylia and shows her about two seconds of the future. And when she sees a barbarian attack being prepared, she knows that everything she holds dear is in danger. But she depends on the only man who can order long range weapons to be deployed in the arms-free system of Origin: the Emperor of Cael. Gaius Drusus has just spent ten years in exile on an empty rock, courtesy of his mother, and after defying fate to return and claim his throne, he declines to enter the fray. Except that when he somehow wakes up on Earth, he realizes he should have refrained from telling Captain Tylia that time seeing is nonsense... He thinks she is a lunatic, but brave -- she thinks he is an idiot, but a brilliant one; and now they are stranded on their derelict mother planet and must put together a mega weapon to defeat the invasion of Origin. As they race against time and battle hybrids, bounty hunters and mad scientists, Valeria begins to believe that Gaius is the promised leader she saw in her visions, and the key to humanity's salvation. An epic quest, vivid, original characters: if you enjoy the fantasy, wit and romance in Star Wars, together with the sense of destiny in Dune, you will love Time Seer. SECOND EDITION
