Standing on the Shoulders of Giants

By C.J. Fielding

Five years ago, in 2057, a totally unprepared earth was destroyed by thousands of asteroid strikes. Two men, John and Paul, survived because they happened to be in the seed bank in Svalbard, Norway. An alien for his own reasons sent them back in time to 70 AD with the hope that by the time 2057 came back around, the Earth would have the technology to stop the asteroid apocalypse. Now that five years have passed, the changes they have brought are in their infancy. Paul went to Africa with the hope of helping the people handle their Tsetse fly problem and prepare them for malaria so that in time Africa could stand next to Europe in their development of the world. Circumstances required him to become the leader of a tribe and to defend his new home. As leader, he has created a unique form of imperialism that is built around a school system. He now has to overcome other tribes and the many animals in Africa that are legitimately considered monsters and gods by their people. John chose to go to North America to what was called in the modern world Texas. His goal was to bring iron and domesticated bison to the people. He was successful with the former but still works on the later. His only real wish is to be a homesteader, but his knowledge is changing the culture more than he could ever imagine, and thus the culture is forcing him to change. Warning-This series intentionally deals with some of the darker aspects of our history. A time where war crimes were considered honorable, where nearly every marriage was child marriage, and execution was the norm for even minor offenses. If you have a problem with these things they you understand how John and Paul feel as they take steps to change or stop the things that horrify them.
