Karl’s rage exploded. “Why doesn’t our good God smite the whole Nazi regime right now?” He shook a fist, “Why doesn’t He wipe them out and stop this wickedness? How can He stand by and watch His chosen people wiped out by the millions?” A tear slipped from his eye unchecked, and his voice broke. “Why doesn’t He weep at what is happening?” He tightened every muscle, shook his fists, and bellowed. “Why!” In Chronos: Incursion, the long-awaited sequel to Chronos One, Dean Palmer courageously tackles life’s toughest questions about pain and suffering. His insightful answers point to a treasure-trove of hope and much-needed meaning in a world bereft of both. The second novel in the epic Chronos trilogy, Incursion continues the Chronos saga with the story of three men’s lives intertwined across time by a force that threatens to undo time, itself: Kemuel, the heartbroken Guardian commander who fights to defend humanity against enemy incursions through time; Karl, the mysterious, angry Seer who struggles to keep the Nazis from changing history; and Joel Stark, the third generation caught up in the epic story of devices more powerful and destructive than humanity’s worst weapons. Destined to inherit the Seer’s mission and abilities, inexplicably ripped back-and-forth across time, racked with guilt from his past, and pulled against his will into wars both past and present, Joel must decide—like his mentor—whether and how he could ever trust the God who has permitted everything around him to happen. 

Will shook his head and barely got the words out. “I can’t lose Joel, too. I can’t.” Phanuel reached out and placed his hand on Will’s shoulder. “You must let him go, Will. If you don’t, all will be lost.” Tears streamed down Will’s cheeks. “Do you mean to tell me that the only way to end all this…is for me to sacrifice my own son?” The fierce angel shed his own tears. “You’ll be in the best company, my friend…the best. I’ve never seen the Father weep like He did that day…the day He sacrificed His Son on the cross…but He did it anyway.” Revolution, the thrilling and moving conclusion to the Chronos trilogy, details the heart-pounding adventure of Joel Stark, the third generation caught in the curse of the mysterious, fearsome time devices. Heir to the Seer’s powers, his struggle is not merely against flesh and blood, but also against “rulers, authorities, and spiritual forces of evil.” His desperate quest to save humanity from the greatest destructive power in human hands takes him from Washington, D.C. to Jerusalem, from the present to the future, and from the earth to deep space, as history and destiny come full circle. Dean Palmer completed a master’s “with distinction” at Liberty University’s School of Divinity, contrasting the Bible’s influence in the American and French Revolutions in his thesis. His extensive travels included a year as a diplomat in Saudi Arabia.

What happens when time travelers go back too far? Will Stark has achieved his destiny, a decorated career as an Air Force pilot and astronaut, the best way to honor his father's legacy as a SEAL-team commander, or so he thought. His true destiny-indeed, his very fate-lies with the secret discovery his father sacrificed his life for when Will was only twelve years old-a mysterious, ancient device with unlimited possibilities. Teamed with fellow pilot, Major Katherine Dalton and a brilliant, quickwitted engineer, Will is about to command the most important mission of his life. In addition to testing the operations of a remarkable craft named Chronos in deep space, they must also explore the device's origins and learn whether their greatest hopes or worst fears could be true: that with the device they could travel across time, reach other galaxies, or obliterate humanity. Their journey of discovery and adventure defies every expectation and leads Will on a quest to find his true destiny, yet it will take the love from an unlikely source and the realization of God's plan to enable him to achieve it, and the struggle could cost him everything, including those he loves most. In Chronos One, the first novel in the epic Chronos trilogy, Dean Palmer masterfully weaves action, adventure, and theology into a brilliant story of beauty and danger, darkness and hope, despair and inspiration. The mission's stakes couldn't be higher. What if everything they have assumed about the world-about reality-is wrong? What happens when time travelers go back too far?
