Living in the Future - Mike Manolakes - Bog

Living in the Future is the third book in the Traveler Series, the series which began with the book Variation Seven. Travelers are the men and women who possess timebands -- cybernetic devices that allow the wearer to travel in time and change history. There are only twelve timebands and twelve Travelers, and those individuals have divided themselves into two rival factions, each with a different view of what the destiny of mankind should be. One group is attempting to steer humanity toward a bright future where it colonizes the stars, and the other is determined to work toward the extinction of the human race before it can infest the galaxy like spreading plague. In Living in the Future, the course of American history has been radically changed. During the height of the Civil War, an ambitious Union general has invaded Washington, DC, and placed Abraham Lincoln under arrest. It's up to Ruthie Terwilliger and her team of time travelers to travel to the past to fix America's future.
