About this series
Rhoda and Ricardo now head the Clan's War Thing, opposing the Circle of the Foe. So, Martin is able to end Yohanna's lockdown at Antonia's house, and he and General Smith can deal with the nearby cache of Soviet-made atomic bombs. The atomic bombs fit into Rhoda's plan to deal with a political faction in the Soviet government in a way that dovetails with rescuing Evelyn from the clutches of the Foe. Now, Hans, Isabel, and Leo, who have learned the tragedy of Ottilie Kruger's War Thing, have time to work through their separate and dangerous life-changing opportunities to join the new War Thing. With a little help from Rhoda, Ricardo establishes himself incognito in the Keep of the Ancient Foe, adjacent to New City University.

- The Menace of the Ancient Foe: A Tale of Two Times, #1
1
In the first volume of A Tale of Two Times, The Menace of the Ancient Foe, after a few adventures, such as taming the Fontana Few motorcycle gang and finding Soviet Atomic bombs stashed on American soil, Rhoda Knox unexpectedly encounters the Ancient Foe at the biologists' costume party in a stone cabin in Southern California. Rhoda and the god exchange hostile words over some very old, unfinished family business between her Clan and the god Sunderer's Circle. Their altercation causes the party to break up in a panic. Seeing the drastic course she must take, Rhoda strides out of the confusion she has precipitated, leaving Yohanna Okubo to handle the aftermath: The blow intended by the Ancient Foe to turn Rhoda into a Shade or destroy her, falls upon Isabel Tavares, a Portuguese mathematician studying at New City University. With the aid of Leo, Antonia and Hans, Yohanna succeeds in rescuing Isabel at the last moment. For days, the five huddle in Antonia's house during a Pacific storm, while Yohanna seeks, by drawing the others into the Clan's world, to hide them from death or capture by the Foes's agents.

- The Fire Baby: A Tale of Two Times, #3
3
The Fire Baby is the third volume of A Tale of Two Times. This volume reveals the drama and intrigue surrounding the creation of the Nazi's deepest war secret: the Separator, designed by the beautiful and brilliant physical chemist Ellie Herder, the scandal queen of Berlin and Ottilie Krüger's Goth Sword rival. The Separator will quickly produce the isotopes needed to make atomic bombs at the very beginning of the Second World War. Only Ottilie, who is obligated to work with Ellie Herder as her partner, knows that this use will be the lesser evil to which the Separator will be put by the Ancient Foe. Listening to Yohanna recount this story of the recent past, Hans, Isabel, Leo and Antonia are themselves being sought for by the Ancient Foe and his Circle in modern Los Angeles. Meanwhile, at the Clan's Home Ranch in Texas, Rhoda Knox is writing her own drama in a deadly game of human and godly politics, while still hoping to dodge the fate of Ottilie, and so, not to lose Ricardo Chavez, the man she loves. Into this unfolding theater of high peril, Yohanna and her audience are being inexorably drawn. (107,500 words)
