Synopsis ~
Ross Murdock, a convicted criminal, is a “volunteer”
for a secret government project: Operation Retrograde. Unwillingly at first,
but with increasing fervor, Murdock becomes a member of the team fighting the
strangest battle of the Cold War. The Russians have infiltrated an unknown era
of the past and developed powerful new weapons by utilizing some lost
technology. American scientists also have the means to transport men into the
past, and it becomes imperative that Operation Retrograde succeed in finding
and tapping the source of the Russian’s secret weapons. Murdock and the other
members of his team embark on a dangerous and frantic search of almost
forgotten time periods in a Cold War where the Past has become the battlefield
of the future!
