De rejser til fortiden for at redde fremtiden. For at rette op på et menneskeskabt paradoks, der truer med at ændre menneskehedens skæbne for altid, må rangerne trodse Roms legioner på højden af deres magt.

Et eventyr, der strækker sig over to årtusinder, fører dem fra kejsertiden over belejringen af en by på vej mod total krig og til en mareridtsverden, der kunne blive virkelighed, hvor civilisationen er reduceret til en myretue. Det hele er op til de fem, da de påtager sig opgaven som hævnengle.

Rangerne er vendt tilbage fra forhistorisk tid blot for at konstatere, at de er endt et endnu farligere sted – nutiden. At være på flugt koster penge. At være på flugt fra verdens rigeste mand koster millioner. Fra en længe glemt hule i Nevadas ørken til oldtidens pirathærgede have søger Rangerne efter en gemt skat. Nok engang må de tidsrejsende sande, at historien ikke altid er, hvad den giver sig ud for at være, og at fremtiden altid er usikker.Uddrag af bogen ”Så det her er din skatteø,” sagde Boats. ”Det ser ud til, at der har været nogen her før dig.” Han havde ret. Der var tegn på en nylig udgravning over hele stranden. Selv vinden og tidevandet havde ikke slette alle hullerne, der var gravet, og bunkerne af sand, der dannede prikker på stranden. Der var rustne skovle efterladt af skuffede lykkejægere. Jimbo fandt en metaldetektor med et bøjet skaft liggende i noget søgræs. ”Det her anses som værende det mest sandsynlige sted, at det fønikiske mandskab gemte deres godter,” sagde Caroline. ”Det er ude af synsvidde fra havet, og klippetoppen gør det til et godt landmærke. Det andet populære sted er en stenvarde lidt længere inde på øen. Det er blevet gravet på igen og igen i århundreder. Jeg tror, den stammer fra tiden efter, at fønikiernes kom hertil.” ”En varde? Det er ligesom en grav, ikke?” sagde Dwayne.

FIRE MÆND FIRE DAGE EN KAMP PÅ LIV OG DØD Det var bare en spadseretur gennem ørkenen til et sted 100.000 år tilbage i fortiden. Egentlig mente de at vide, hvad de kunne forvente. Men de tog fejl. Nu sidder en gruppe videnskabsmænd fast i en verden, de ikke var forberedt på, og som de aldrig kan vende tilbage fra. Deres eneste håb er en kvartet af forhenværende US Army Rangers, der er friske på at rejse tilbage til Nevada i forhistorisk tid for at stå ansigt til ansigt med ukendte rædsler og mod umulige odds bringe dem hjem fra Dårlige tider. Uddrag af bogen “Vi kan åbne feltet i tredive minutter hver otteogfyrretyvende time. Vi har gjort det tre gange, siden de gik igennem, og ingen er kommet tilbage igennem Røret. Noget må være gået galt på den anden side.” “Hvad er der på den anden side, doktor?” “Nevada som det var for hundrede årtusinder siden. Hvor vi er nu ville være på kysten af et lavt hav næsten sekstenhundrede kilometer bredt. Den geologiske optegnelse for denne periode giver os en rimelig mængde sikkerhed om det. På dette eksakte sted. Ser du, selvom Røret muliggør det at rejse gennem tid, så kan det ikke –” “– tage dig gennem sted,” sagde Dwayne. “Jeg så filmen, doktor. Og du vil have mig til at gå gennem Røret og redde din søster.” “Og Dr. Kemp og Phillip.” “Redde dem fra hvad, doktor?” “Altså, tidsperioden myldrer med farlige livsformer. Som gigantiske versioner af dyr vi kender i dag. Kæmpebjørn. Kæmpebæver. Kæmpeelg. Endda elefanter i den periode. Der kunne også være voldsomme storme og oversvømmelser. Det er umuligt at vide, hvad forholdene er på den anden side, uden at gå igennem Røret.Om forfatteren Chuck Dixon (f. 1954) er tegneserieforfatter, der er mest kendt for sit arbejde med superhelte hos forlagene Marvel og DC, hvor han står bag karakterer som The Punisher, Batman, Nightwing og Robin i 1990’erne og de tidlige nuller.
