Trying to return to the Crystal River area – the location of the
dig, Logan encounters a Clovis-culture girl, Serensaa. She
is both beautiful and mysterious – also a slightly crazy
adrenaline junkie.
The two gradually make their way across the Florida
peninsula, fighting off beasts and trying to avoid the men
who have been chasing Serensaa.
Lucky that Logan, slacker though he was, learned enough Tae
Kwon Do to fight. He finds that he can hold his own against
most of the enemy.
The two become close, then intimate. An attack separates
them and Logan is left trying to struggle across the
unfamiliar territory by himself, hoping to find Serensaa near
Crystal River.

Along the way, he is shadowed by a fox that comes and goes.
He finally meets up with some Clovis people and Serensaa is
there. However, she has just been claimed by the head
hunter of the tribe. Logan cannot stand that idea.

somehow finds himself precipitated through time again.
This time, he has only moved forward a few weeks or
months. He is alone with no idea where Serensaa might be.

Review Quote
“Good, solid time travel adventure starting with an unmotivated young man who is
thrust thousands of years back in time and has to immediately begin fighting
for his survival. The no-nonsense, straight forward writing style complements
the no-nonsense "fight or die" experiences he faces, often with white knuckle
suspense and action. Very entertaining.”
