Book #1: A NEW BIRTH OF FREEDOM: THE VISITOR is book one of a time-travel, alternate-history, double-first-contact science-fiction trilogy. It's a mouth-full, alright, but more than that, it's a mind-full.
Imagine a time when a future generation of humans needs the help of a past generation in order to survive the threat of a planetary pestilence. Now, imagine further that what is needed is the combined forces of the Union Army of the Potomac and the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia. Imagine more specifically that they need these two armies for one day, and that day is July 3rd, 1863 -- at the Battle of Gettysburg.
• "The rich details and well-crafted plot are interwoven extremely well with the accurate historical details. I salute the author for both his imagination and his knowledge of history." - Tayler, Amazon
• "A very cleverly conceived alternate history, something that can only be achieved by someone who knows the real history very well, and clearly Dr. Pielke does." - Alanzzzz, Amazon
• "Comprehensively well organized. The real draw is the mystery and excitement that pulls the reader into the story. Pielke's writing style is clean, precise, and perfectly well paced." - San Francisco Review of Books
** Book #1 on Amazon -- with a special price for the Kindle version
Book #2: A NEW BIRTH OF FREEDOM: THE TRANSLATOR is book two of a time-travel, alternate-history, double-first-contact science-fiction trilogy. It's a mouth-full, alright, but more than that, it's a mind-full.
Imagine that you are a time-traveler, Edwin Blair from the 24th Century BCE, who has partially accomplished his task to stop a future pestilence on earth, but your interference with the course of history is unpredictable and possibly paradoxical -- which would require that you start all over again with your mission. But could you remember what mistakes you made and how to correct them?
• "I Finished both books cover to cover and impatiently wait for the 3rd. Mind you, Edwin Blair has 'legs'! Huzzah! Great story telling pace and interest. Minor characters full, and Lincoln a true hero with gravitas and humor, and Blair is complex and so human."
- Morgan Sheppard, Narrator and Gen. Trimble in both Gettysburg and Gods & Generals
• "I loved the first book, but the second outdoes itself! Pielke spins a masterful tale in The Translator, twisting science fiction with historical fiction, but weaving it with such richness and accuracy, down to personality types, quirky characteristics, manners of speech, and reasonableness of action, that no seams or incongruities can be found." - Kevin, Amazon
Book #3: A NEW BIRTH OF FREEDOM: THE HISTORIAN [due to be released late 2013 or early 2014]
