, future first officer of the interplanetary and interdimensional Time Guardian Bureau. In this exciting trilogy, Jack is sent back in time from our future to the end of the nineteenth century, where he lands in The Marysburgh Vortex, a mysterious location known for swallowing up ships and sailors on the Great Lakes. But Jack remembers nothing ... only strange trace memories of a bizarre future where the Sun has penetrated our atmosphere and people live underground among the ruins scrambling for survival as strange radiated creatures roam the surface.

But then he stumbles on a murder and the trace memories grow more intense, slicing through his amnesia. Something about the world on the brink of ecological collapse, a mysterious element known as "elusine," and a jump back in time to recover this element. The only problem? Jack is, for some unknown reason, being chased by a deadly private army of drones and assassins led by a mysterious figure known as The Dark Master.

As he scrambles to evade capture and discover his mission, he befriends the captain of the schooner Picton, an enigmatic Mohawk warrior and his intrepid daughter, a small rebel group of bots who've escaped The Dark Master, and the eccentric genius Nikola Tesla, the only other human who grasps the importance of Jack's journey through time. With this ragtag group of misfits, Jack must remember when he's from, why he's come here to the past, and why elusine holds the key to Earth's future.
