HUMANITY IS ON THE BRINK OF EXTINCTION
WHAT ELSE WILL IT TAKE TO SAVE HUMANS FROM DESTRUCTION?

Kenneth and Savannah successfully identified a spy within the underwater factory in the submarine, Heraclion. However, they couldn’t stop the spy in bombing the Okuda Drive when he was discovered.

Kenneth rushed right into the face of danger and saved the director from the fire. However, in the aftermath of the explosion, he falls into an inexplicable sleep.

The possibility of losing Kenneth has never become so tangible to Savannah until that moment. The mere idea of him just being gone scares her as she tries to understand her feelings for him.

As Kenneth, Savannah, and Unquill draw closer and closer to the truth, danger also starts to catch up with them. Now that they have discovered a spy within Heracleion, will there be more out there, too?

“How do you all stay alive without having to eat food? How exactly does it work?” Kenneth asked the doctor.

“Well, I see no harm in explaining. A hole opens up in your palette. From there, chemicals drip down into your digestive system. These chemicals are then processed as nourishment for your body. The chemicals originate partly through the absorption of light through the skin, but also through the inhalation of oxygen.

“At some point in the past, human beings evolved to the point where these two processes, already occurring within your body, served to provide enough sustenance for the body. The key chemical you need to know is called glucose. Plants in your time converted sunlight into glucose through a process called photosynthesis. Though the process in the human body is different, the result is the same.

“It just so happens that the method of eating food for nutrients proved to be an inefficient method of sustaining the human body. Many by-products were created through the consumption of food. Absorbing sunlight in a more efficient manner cut out the middleman. I believe that is the correct term?”

Kenneth put his hands on his lap with a speculative expression on his face and a twinkle in his eyes. “Yeah, I think middleman is right. What you mean about photosynthesis or glucose or anything, I vaguely remember . I think I might have been asleep the day we've had that in science class.”

Doctor Andrew regarded Kenneth with a kind expression. “Then, suffice to say, you need to eat more food if you wish to avoid another episode of falling asleep prematurely.”

    From the Publisher that brought you popular short story series Chains of Darkness, Song of Teeth, Soulyte, The Magaram Legends, Requiem for a Dream,and Children of Time, now brings you, Children of Two Futures.... THE CAUSES OF THE DISAPPEARANCE OF HUMAN BEINGS FROM THE WORLD STARTED FROM THE YEAR 7245 AD AND IN THE DISTANT YEAR OF 7500 AD, THE HUMAN RACE WILL CEASE TO EXIST In the year 6421 AD, reasons for humanity’s extinction remain unknown to the government and future historians alike. In an era where time travel is possible, historians and journeymen have been forbidden from exploring that time period for any purpose whatsoever. Nobody knows what will cause human extinction, and nobody has a clue. But with only a thousand years left to humanity’s existence, an frenetic kind of curiosity spurred the constabulary's highest officials to agree that the future has to be known. No matter how proven it is that nothing in the events of the past can change the future, historians cling onto the fact that a theoretical Zeta Disruption may exist. The Zeta Disruption, according to temporal theory, is a person—or animal—capable of changing the future. The Zeta Disruption can change the entire course of humanity. Savannah Proehl and Kenneth Yardrow are pulled forward into the year 7245 to do exactly just that. They are given the rare chance to make a positive change to the world by discovering the causes of human destruction and answering a mysterious riddle. But as young as they are, even they themselves are unsure if they can fulfill this gargantuan task. Still, the fate of humanity lies in their hands and it is up to them to save humanity from its demise. Will they be able to unearth the truth? Will they be able to save the humans from obliteration? Only one way to find out.... If you wish to read more, download now! BONUS PREVIEW FOR NEXT STORY IF YOU BUY THIS BOOK! EXCERPT Even after hearing the riddle, Savannah Proehl hadn't been able to make much sense of it, other than to figure out the number fourteen was important to her mission to save the world. After getting the Soonseen's Lonnan Nation to cease firing at a ship from their Kinnan Nation, President Kunan Slaan had asked her to stick around in the future for a while. The problem of the human race dying out as a result of Hinjo Junta's actions had remained. Though the immediate danger from deflected energy beams striking the planet had passed, Savannah found that she could not return home as soon as she wanted. She sat in the president's mansion in Jakarta. President Slaan had placed her in a room with three walls and several panes of glass connected to each other to form one great transparent wall. The evening sun streamed in through the glass, shining upon her braided hair which lay over one shoulder. An empty white can lie before her on a glass table. The can had once contained the same kind of gray nutrients she had eaten in Alexandria. She wouldn't call it food, not since she had come to regard it as little better than puppy chow. President Slaan had promised to bring her food from the Temporal Constabulary. The nearest constabulary base lay in Okinawa, which was further away from Jakarta....

When faced with the task of saving humans from destruction, what will you do? THE ADVENTURE CONTINUES AS KENNETH AND SAVANNAH UNRAVEL THE MYSTERIES BEHIND THE CAUSE OF HUMAN EXTINCTION Savannah Proehl, Kenneth Yardrow and Unquill Hester visited Heracleion to find out what exactly is behind the murder of Imam Walid Felor, Olon Daniel, and Kaloa Syncrate. The only thing connecting these three people is their participation in a project that is supposed to make atmosphere ships capable of standing up to the Soonseen. The Okuda Drive is perhaps the most important undergoing project, as it puts humanity on an even footing with the Soonseen. Who can possibly be trying to stop a project that will protect the Earth from invasion? There is only one way to find out—get to the center of all the events themselves. In the second installment of this adventurous tale, Kenneth and Savannah visit an underwater factory in Heracleion where the Okuda Drive is being built. Being at the root of it all, they hope to see the bigger picture and piece things together.

EXCERPT When the driver told them they had arrived at their destination, she didn't believe him at first. She remembered that President Slaan had wanted them to visit an underwater factory. She had thought of driving through a tunnel connecting the base to the mainland. She had not envisioned a submarine, much less one that looked so different from the ones she had seen in the movies. The gray metallic mass of the submarine extended a longer distance than Savannah would have thought possible. Every submarine she had seen had been small vessels in which people had to duck their heads. She supposed submarines from the seventy-third century had to accommodate the reality of people being very tall. It looked like a round, cylindrical section of metal that reminded Savannah of a stovepipe hat. As they advanced on the submarine with rain pouring down all around them, a hatch opened to reveal a thin man wearing a dark blue hat with a yellow brim. The man called out to them, “Just use the rungs there. Give a cry if you need assistance!” The rain fell down in sheets, and Savannah's braid soaked through, sticking to her shirt. Her sneakers squished in the puddles that formed around her feet. She walked right up to the edge of the submarine, and then grasped hold of a series of metal rungs protruding from the hull. She was the first to climb up to the top of the submarine where the man in the blue hat waited for them. He guided her onto the ladder that went down into the bowels of the ship.

Author

G. J. Winters

G.J. Winters “fell into” writing when a well-meaning teacher of his submitted his Creative Writing assignment for publication in the school paper. The local paper picked up the article and asked G.J. for publishing rights, to which the young G.J. agreed with some hesitation, as he felt “that wasn’t one of my best writings at the time.” The reality was that this article was written when G.J. was a junior in high school.The article, which was a fictionalized version of a local myth surrounding a famous abandoned house near a swamp, was an assignment turned in as part of a mid-term exam. The teacher, Miss Mendez, thought G.J.’s writing was “exemplary” and showed “natural, raw writing talent for a person his age." The assignment called for “providing details to a local urban myth – provide background, using a local resident’s POV, and close with a vague hint of authenticity and realism."The story, entitled “The Old Mansion by the Swamp,” appeared in the high school paper as a short story, but was later serialized in the local paper in 6 parts. G.J. added more characters and even a sub-story (which later became a story of its own, “I Was Shirley Massey” – a story which centered on a member of the fictional family who resided in the Massey Mansion in the late 70s and disappeared without a trace).With the success of both of his original series, G.J. thought to venture into writing longer stories, this time with futuristic themes, as he has always been fascinated with travelling through time, future crimes, apocalyptic themes, and stories set in civilizations from the future.G.J. identifies with sci-fi writers such as Isaac Asimov (“Kept me awake through most evenings in college.”) and Margaret Peterson Haddix (“My girlfriend at the time had fits of jealousy over my fanatical tendencies towards this author.”).G.J. holds a degree in Chemistry, is an intern at the R&D division of a pharmaceutical manufacturing company, and lives with girlfriend Deidre, a magazine editor.
