The Ultimate Passage

Darius Calhoun is President of the U.S.--in the year 2320. Citizens of earth live in domed cities, because pollution has reached the point where the air is no longer fit to breathe. They no longer feel hatred, jealousy, envy or love. They don't have sex either, and haven't for nearly two hundred years. Why? Because it's messy, unsanitary and can transmit disease. Imagine Darius' horror then, when he suddenly finds himself displaced in time at the whim of the goddess Aveena--goddess of love.

His trek to 14th century Scotland is Darius' worst nightmare come true. He is forced to live in a cold, drafty castle, wear a kilt, and use the ghastly "privy" when it comes time to take care of nature's call. Worst of all, he is expected to be an advisor to Robert the Bruce, the self-proclaimed King of Scotland. How is he to counsel the king on tactics of war when, where he comes from, that barbaric institution, too, has been extinct for over two hundred years?

Only one thing in this godforsaken time period enables Darius to keep his sanity. Her name is Lara Macgregor. Her father is lord of the castle. Lara is beautiful, spunky--and looking for a mate. Of course, in that day and age, this means having sex and Darius wants no part of it. He feels nothing for Lara but friendship...at least he didn't at first. Now, though, strange things are happening to his mind and body and, with the war for independence in Scotland gaining momentum, so does Darius' resolve that at some point in time, government leaders in his world did something terribly wrong.
