Chaos Machine

Chaos Machine

Jim Hamilton

About this book

When the crew of a Shoomaran freighter find themselves stranded on Earth in 5342 BC, they learn that the native inhabitants are destined to die out in only a thousand years. Aided by a machine that can foretell the future, they are able to make minor changes from time-to-time in order to keep mankind on the path to survival. However, in spite of all of their efforts, the clock will finally run out for everyone in less than a year from now. Unable to find a solution on their own, they turn to those that they have watched over for more than seven millennia. But will the humans be able to find a way to save the solar system from annihilation? The Chaos Machine is the first book of The Chaos Trilogy. It was originally intended to be a stand-alone novel, but continues with Second Contact. The third book, Mankind 2.0, bridges the first two books and ties everything together. Author's note: Whether you enjoy reading this or not, I would appreciate any honest reviews. It's the only way I can get any feedback as to how I'm doing as an author.
