Publisher's Synopsis
When Jean-Louis de Rochebrune is mysteriously transported from his German POW camp to the wonderful planet Charatheas and back, he can do not less than write of his extraordinary experience. As Germany loses the war, the Germans guards abandon the camp for fear of reprisal from the approaching Red Army. Jean-Louis distrusts the Soviets nearly as much as the Nazi and decides not to wait to be 'liberated' by them. Limited in what he can carry with him for the long trek ahead, Jean-Louis must leave his manuscript behind, hoping that someone, someday, may find it and benefit from its astounding message.
This simple step of hope is about to trigger a butterfly effect he cannot imagine.
Soviet Lt-Colonel Alyosha Mikhailovich reaches the deserted Oflag (Officer POW camp) and stumbles upon the manuscript. As he navigates through the turmoil of the last fighting of the war, then the Nuremberg Trials, and into the Cold War, the revelations from the manuscript transform his own understanding of the world and change his life forever.
This sci-fi historical novel spans two planets, six countries, forty-five years, and takes the reader on the grand adventure that began by taking a small step of faith.
