The Meridian Series
is a now set of five linked volumes comprising a quintet of extraordinary
novels in the popular time travel genre.
It is the story of the first ever attempt to travel in time on a rainy
Memorial Day weekend set in the very near future. The project team has acquired
the recently demolished site of the venerable Bevatron complex at Lawrence
Berkeley Labs, and quietly built their "Arch Complex" to test new physics
principles in Quantum Mechanics that allow for time travel.

The four main characters in the novels each have a unique a discipline
and contribution to make to the effort. Team leader Paul Dorland is the
Physicist who developed the theory behind the Arch facility. Dorland is a
dreamer as he tinkers with infinity, his mind ever on the physics, and he often
serves to explain elements of the intricate time theory for the reader in a
straightforward and believable way. He is ably assisted by computer and math
wizard Kelly Ramer, a down to earth and sometimes comical character who finds
himself in severe jeopardy due to the annihilating effects of Paradox any
number of Â times in the series because
his death was prevented as a means of enabling this first mission to happen. The
mission research is the province of Chief Historian Robert Nordhausen, an
esoteric, eclectic, overly curious professor who often spars with, and is held
in check by, the analysis of Outcomes & Consequences led by the feisty and
determined Maeve Lindford.

The opening volume, Meridian, Â deals with the Â "Palma Event," a willful act carried out by
radicalized Islamic terrorists, the opening salvo in the ongoing Time War. This
opening volume finds the last member of the project team arriving late with the
news of a catastrophic event on the Island of Palma. The Cumbre Vieja volcano
has collapsed, and upon learning that this was a willful event caused by the
detonation of an atomic "suitcase bomb" the team cancels its appointment with
Shakespeare and sets out to find some way to prevent the event from happening.
If they fail, the whole eastern seaboard of the United States will be
devastated by the massive tsunami generated by the "Palma Event." They have 6
to 8 hours to research and plan their mission before the first wave sets come
crashing ashore, and the research leads them to the Jordanian desert during WWI
and the fabled adventurer Lawrence of Arabia.

Meridian is an intelligent, compelling, fast paced story that is impossible to put down.
