About this ebook

A team of archaeologists led by three Jesuits and an Israeli rabbi discover a sealed cave in the Sinai Desert. Hidden and unopened for millennia, the cave contains pre-Christian-era treasures, including a stone inscribed with the Prayer of Moses, offering a unique power to a priest who utters it with a request. The rabbi finds and conceals the stone, and later recites the prayer while requesting that modern Israel be transported in time to 1939 to deal as a nuclear power with the Nazi threat. The temporal transformation occurs, and the story recounts the impact on the government and citizens of Israel, the crew of the US Navy cruiser docked in Haifa at the fateful moment, and many others in Europe and the Middle East. The effects on people in 1939 who encounter visitors from the future, with all their technology, are engrossing, and are reported in a fashion that transports the reader to the center of events.
A unifying theme revolves around the efforts of the Jesuits and the US naval command staff to find a way to undo the time-shift. The dramatic events leading to a startling climax will be etched in the readers memory.

William B. Clark

William B. (Bill) Clark was born in Los Angeles and grew up in the shadow of the International Airport (LAX) in the community of Westchester. A product of Catholic schools and 50's Americana, Bill achieved his life's dream of becoming a naval aviator shortly after his 1961 graduation from the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis. After a combat tour in Southeast Asia in 1965 flying his beloved A-4 Skyhawk from the deck of the USS Midway, Bill spent the next three years in the desert as a weapons delivery test pilot at Naval Weapons Test Center in China Lake, CA. Bill retired as a Captain in the U.S. Navy Reserves with a combined total of 30 years of active duty and reserve service, and some of his combat exploits were featured in the book Iron Hand: Smashing the Enemy's Air Defenses by A. Thornborough. Later, in Clover, South Carolina, spending his days writing and restoring old cars, an avid story teller who would often recount old sea stories as well as discuss his own fanciful ideas of a good yarn, Bill with the encouragement of his family and friends sat down and literally put pen to paper and wrote Interesting Times. Bill passed away in 2009 of complications from a surgical procedure. He is interred with some of his classmates in the Columbarium at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis , Maryland.
