After returning Abraham Lincoln to his seat in Ford’s Theater milliseconds before Booth fires the pistol, Will Burleson’s Portal crew flee a hit team sent by the President and arrives 5 years late at a new secret location.

The team struggles around the clock to rescue astronauts it placed on Sol’s planets and moons with heartbreaking results, and they mount a rescue for two friends left in 1865 where over 5 years have now passed.

The team’s portal slips into 1804 in an attempt to make scholarly observation of the Lewis and Clark Expedition and they get more than they bargained for.

 In returning to DC with Lewis to report to President Jefferson, Will and his team fall into the turmoil of a young country with lies, deception, manipulation, and intrigue; and too many murders and close calls that did not get passed on to today’s conventional history.

  After years of effort, Carl Raines finally dials in the correct physics that opens a small portal into the next day by folding space using the legendary enigmatic Alcubierre Drive.  After two years of playing tomorrow’s stock market today Will Burleson uses his new millions to finance a larger Portal that takes them anywhere in the universe at any time.

  Acting on Carl’s lifelong fascination with President Lincoln, the Portal Team grabs and brings him to 2030 where he sets off political turmoil and the near nuclear destruction of NASA and JPL.

  Will’s daughter Natalee convinces the Portal Team to drop her parallel to the Lewis and Clark Expedition and they end up bringing President Jefferson to 2038 where he deposes the corrupt, treasonous sitting President to bring the country back to the Constitution.

  Travel with Will where his fascination with Valley Forge takes the Team there in late 1777 where they become involved in saving the infant nation and Mount Vernon curator Professor Selah Aris eventually convinces President George Washington to visit 2040, which sets off an unexpected chain of national disturbances and international calamities, changing history forever.
