Produktbeschreibung
A retired Army Colonel and a combat wounded veteran, who grew up in a non-religious Navy family, Dennis Patrick Treece, combines science fiction and fantasy and the search for truth in this mind-bending novel. "It's About Time" is a page-turning fiction that begs to be read in a single sitting as this mental time travel spanning centuries unfolds. This is an astonishing novel from an unforgettable author and is a must read. A curious time shift takes Bon and his planet, Shonak, on an expedition into the nature of Time itself. It also sets the stage for open interaction between Shonak and Earth, which until the "shift" was the Earth of 1000 BCE. Suddenly, inexplicably, Earth was thrust forward in time by 3210 years. Now a modern, technical world, Shonak can finally relate to the people and can have an open relationship with them. While the time shift on Earth was indisputable, nothing of the sort happened on Shonak. Strangely enough though, Shonak's surveillance of Earth captured every moment of those "new" 3210 years, while no one on Shonak had any memory of these new years. "Impossible" they all say! This book takes you through more than six hundred years in the life of Gold Bon, as he tackles the issue of the time shift, Shonak's new relationship with Earth, the maintenance of their vast, secret infotainment collection apparatus on Earth, an alien space incursion, the discovery of intelligent life on another of their sister planets, the fielding of gunships in space with Earth gunners, and the things Shonak does to improve life on Earth. And at the end of it all you might say it was about Time.
Autorenporträt
Dennis Patrick Treece grew up in a Navy family and lived all over the world. His father retired to Phoenix, Arizona when Dennis was in the seventh grade. He attended Cortez High School and Arizona State University and was commissioned in the Army as a Second Lieutenant in 1970. After infantry and intelligence training, he went to Vietnam in 1972, for the last full year of the war, and was wounded in action. He spent thirty years in the Army, in Military Intelligence, seventeen years of which were overseas, mostly Europe, but also Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, and the Balkans. He retired as a full colonel and settled in Atlanta in 2000 where he worked for two years doing cybersecurity for banks and insurance companies. After the tragedy of 9/11/2001 he was hired to run the security program for the Massachusetts Port Authority, with its airports and seaports. He retired for the last time at the end of 2013. Today he lives quietly near the beach north of Boston with his lovely wife, and their dog, cat, koi pond, and garden. They enjoy traveling, dressing up in period costume for vintage dancing, playing golf, and socializing with their friends. His wife, Dr. Eleanor Ruth Fisher, PsyD, is a semi-retired psychotherapist and successful commercial artist and Dennis enjoys helping her with her art business.
