A New World of Hope

By Don Hanley

A history professor from the 22nd century seeks to escape his present by traveling to the 21st century to better understand what happened that set the United States of America on a very different course.

Mark Haloran is a history professor living in the 22nd century with nothing to lose. This makes him the perfect candidate to test out the new time machine his friend Sam Shafer thinks he has finally perfected. Mark travels back to the year 2019, hoping to connect with his great-great-great-great-parents, high conscious thinkers who he hopes will believe his story and help him with his hands-on research. His goal: to find out what happened following the 2016 presidential election that changed the course of humanity forever. When Mark’s plan for a short vacation to the past is unexpectedly extended, he gets to work, with the help of his family, to give the 21st century a taste of the future.
