Thomas Hunter closes his eyes in one world and opens them in another. When he sleeps on Earth, he wakes in a primitive realm where he commands warriors in battle. When he sleeps there, he returns to modern reality where terrorists threaten global destruction with an engineered virus. Thomas discovers his actions in each world change the other. He faces an impossible choice: save Earth from biological warfare or protect his adopted people from ancient evil. The virus spreads while enemies close in on both sides. Thomas must navigate betrayal, love, and impossible odds as millions of lives hang on decisions he makes in dreams that may not be dreams at all. Two worlds pull him apart while time runs out in both.
