North Island, California, 2062-Naval engineer Neil Avery reminisces about a fatherly southern preacher while being haunted with regret for mistreating the minister's daughter-the young woman who tried to teach him about love. Avery plunges into a world of flashbacks, overcome with images of what should have been. But this is the twenty-first century, and quantum physics has yielded a frightening invention: a time machine responsible for the death of one scientist and the disappearance of another, yet offering the potential for second chances. When Avery learns that he may be forced into retirement, his only choices are to end the military career he loves or accept a secret mission as part of Project Spectrum. Using quantum nuclear genetics to initiate time travel, the project's risks could be as great as the rewards. To take on the perilous assignment would mean to join those who have been misleading the FBI away from the most incredible invention devised by man to date. It could also mean the opportunity to make amends with the preacher's family. A thrilling novel of technological advances and military might, Across the Sands of Time is the gripping story of one man's shot at redemption.
