We pick up where we left Morgan Eberly in the first book as he was convicted of a murder at the age of 23, was sentenced to age 40 years via a TimeLock capsule but was interupted and was able to escape in his new age of 43! 20 years was taken from him and a new and more radical president has obtained a newer technology that can be used as a weapon on the battlefield.

When only one person is able to initiate the program and he is kidnapped, the need to rescue him is essential! Morgan knows he must focus on finding him and also stopping the president from pushing forward with his plans.
