Cuando el profesor de historia Fritz Russell cruza la puerta de su clase, se encuentra en compañía del General Robert E. Lee, más de 150 años en el pasado.Para Fritz, su repentino viaje en el tiempo al pasado es tanto un regalo como una oportunidad de vivir una gran aventura. Pero cuando se abre un portal al Despacho Oval, se da cuenta de que el misterioso portal también podría tener un propósito más serio.Cuando el presidente le contrata para ayudar con la seguridad nacional, Fritz no cree que haya ningún peligro en viajar a través del tiempo y el espacio. Pero, ¿le considerará prescindible su propio gobierno si no puede resolver el misterio del portal? Michael Stern has said that he would like to be remembered as a great storyteller. "I've been telling stories since childhood. I still love a good story, no matter the source." Since he began writing as a career later in life, he has learned how difficult good writing can be, and strives to improve his grasp of the nuance of powerful storytelling. "Many good writers ply their trade, but few are great. Many good writers are financially successful because they write stories that captivate an audience at the right time. Great writers transcend time, at least in part because they speak to the human condition regardless of time or location. They create memorable characters, thrust them into conflicts internal and external, and take the reader to emotional attachment found only in a well-structured story."Mr. Stern lives in New Jersey outside Philadelphia with his wife, Linda, who is also an author. A graduate of Cornell University, he has pursued writing as a "perfect ending to a successful career."
