This is the most uniqe novel of all sci-fi novels (science fiction novels) ever! It's truey a sci-fi (science fiction) novel (specifically a time-travel novel) with a purpose!! A unique type of science fiction / fantasy adventure novel as well as a unique type of Christian fiction , both blended with historical fiction, and all of this rolled into one great sci-fi / fantasy adventure novel. It's one of  literature's turely unique sci-fi (science fiction) / fantasy novels!                            

What do these historical eras have in common: 1)the california gold rush, 2)early  colonial America, 3)the renaissance, 4)the reformation, 5)the time of Camelot and 6)the Roman era? They all contain valuable  lessons which point to the ultimate truth.

What do a group of future scientists from all over the world have in common? A  desire for truth, hope for a bright  future and a belief in a Divine being, but a disbelief in a Savior.                             

Put all of the above elements together and   you have an explosive formula for a great sci-fi (science fiction) novel, a fantasy adventure novel which could also be of  interest to fans of historical fiction and Christian fiction as well as those of science fiction.  It's truely an important work of Christian fiction as it uses the vehicle of science fiction to clarify several aspects of  the Christian faith.  Yet, it is an engrosing sci-fi (science fiction) novel to say the least.                    

In the future, when time-travel is  theoretically proven an universally  accepted, a group of scientists of            all  faiths decide to try to time-travel  back to the           Garden of Eden in order to prevent the fall of man and thus put an end to all sin, sickness and disease. They  manage to gain the backing for the project from a      wealthy   financier. The trouble is, they can only go     back 200   years, more or less, at a time and will have to make  repairs to the time cylinder at every stop.       Thus, they visit the historical california gold rush and then early  Colonial America. Then, they are pulled     forward  unexpectedly to a future time of trouble,     where robots serve, and forced to fight in a senseless war. They   manage to break free and take off only to discover they have a stow away. But the stow away has a device   which will help them to go further back with each   leap. Thus, they then time-travel to the   Renaissance  and meet the historical  figure, Leonardo Da Vincie, But, by  mistake they take off without the stow   away and  his device. Then, they are  pulled forward again, but  only to the time of the                 Reformation, where they  meet  Martin Luther and have an argument over faith.    Then, with the help of a new fuel formula, using alcohol, they manage            to  arrive at Camelot and finally,   Ancient  Jerusalem, where they at last realize the real   answer--the true end and goal                                                                         of  their  mission.                                                               

Is this a sci-fi novel (outstanding amoung  science  fiction novels), a work of Christian fiction, or a        compilation of     historical fiction vinyets in a sci-            fi setting? Whether judged from a historical standpoint or the standpoint of sci-fi    (science fiction) novels,        this is truely a most uniqe fantasy adventure novel       among novels!  It is a sci-fi novel or a  fantasy                 adventure novel with both historical                                  and religious  significance.
