Synopsis: From the Back Cover of the Tor Books First Edition: You have just saved the world - and you don't remember. You are a man who was born in a future which has almost used up all hope: you were sent back to this time and place to alter the events at created that future.
Am I telling the truth? The only evidence you have is your ability to see visions - not of the future, but of what will happen if you do not act.
But each time you intervene, you change the future from which you came. You now exist outside of time, and each change makes you forget.
I wrote this message to tell you what I know, just as I learned about myself by reading a message like this one - for I am you, we are one.
And we have done this many times before...
From the First Page of the Tor Books First Edition: A ravaged tomorrow, a planet in ruins, sent a lone agent back to save the past - now. But Bill Johnson found our world facing a host of crisis, not just one. Nuclear annihilation. Terrorism. Tyranny. Pollution. Population. Plague. Famine. Each menace Johnson solved simply set the stage for the next, an endless clip of bullets springing before the firing pin.
Johnson was forced to save the world, gain - and again - and again -
And whenever time changed, tomorrow - shifted. Until Johnson was lost, a hero with no home, no friend, no memory. He had only visions and a helpless destiny to find the worst troublespots on Earth. Johnson wasn't just trapped in the past - he was trapped in the future. All futures.
