Synopsis ~
Ashe Gordon and Ross Murdock, angry following the
loss of their fellow agent and friend, Travis Fox on the planet Topaz, are on
the planet Hawaikan, a warm planet that is mostly ocean, intent on setting up a
time gate. The world is so different from what they expected after viewing the
information from the alien ship that brought them to the planet that they have
decided to do a risky experiment and travel into the past of the planet. They
are joined on this venture by two mutant dolphins and a female agent of Polynesian
descent. Just as they set up the time gate, a storm blows up and disaster
strikes. Murdock is flung through the gate and into the planets past. The time
gate is destroyed. Murdock is left to try to cope with the different and alien
world he finds himself in, where it seems there is currently a three way
struggle going on even without the presence of the mysterious aliens who have
dogged the Time Traders from the start.
