Publisher's Synopsis
It was a balmy day near Latfurt West Germany in the Spring of 1979. Young electro-static researchers Lucas Fuller, Mark Kessler, Kyle Hamon and Jake Welder are having the time of their lives working with the great particle accelerator, Big Momma, that has been put at their disposal by the US and West German governments. But little do they know that they are about to embark on an epoch odyssey that will change their lives forever. The famous West German scientist Doctor Victor von Schmelt soon arrives to examine their work, in order to make his report to those higher-ups in authority who have given the young scientists the privilege of using the great static generator for their cellular studies. But what is it about the man that unnerves them so? By the hand of a saboteur-and a strange twist of fate-Lucas Fuller is sent on an unanticipated journey. He soon realizes that there are unexpected side effects to the research he and his friends have been engaged in, and he suddenly finds himself in a most forbidding and unholy never-land. Trapped in Nazi Germany in the Fall of 1943, Fuller realizes that he is in the most precarious of predicaments. It seems to him that he is forever lost to his own time as he sets about planning his escape to the Allied lines. But then he finds out that he and his friends were not the only ones engaged in research. What are the Nazis doing to the children they claim to be treating? And why are they doing it? Lucas' plans are quickly changed when he meets the lovely, gypsy Anna. She and her grandmother have been captured by the Nazis; and as true members of the Third Reich, the Nazi hatred of these simple, nomadic people is almost as great as their hatred for the Jews. Mark Kessler, Kyle Hamon and Jake Welder put their heads together to try and determine what really happened to their friend Lucas. Could what they theorize happened to him really have happened? Is there any way to get him back? Perhaps there is, if they're willing to risk their own lives. All is brought to light as the race against time begins. For now, time is both their enemy and their friend. It is their attempt, their chance, their hope to somehow undo the catastrophic series of events that have come to pass as a result of. The Pendulum Project.
