Hi, fans.
This is the first of a three-part series of science fiction novels with a main character who travels back to our century from the 23rd to try to set right the environmental apathy that is killing the Earth. This book contains flying cars, a homicidal maniac who is the hero's accomplice and other trappings of the future including a nascent Moon colony. I hope you like it.
