Description: THE CIVIL WAR AS IT HAS NEVER BEEN TOLD BEFORE! The Timecode Railroad is a science fiction story that is set in the future—but takes place in the past. General Lee and Confederate rebels are victorious over the Union Army at Antietam (Sharpsburg), the bloodiest battle of the conflict. Lee’s rebels quickly advance to Washington D.C. In the White House library, President Lincoln signs the Article of Surrender. The Confederate State of America is born. Jefferson Davis declares himself President. His initial executive order—slavery is legalized above and below the Mason-Dixon line. Five hundred years later…The American slave trade flourishes… but there is much opposition! Colonel Menelek Armstrong commands a corporate-funded band of mercenaries, the H.A.R.D. Corps. They specialize in covert ops behind enemy lines… stealing downtrodden slaves from maximum security plantations. Michele Fox is CEO of Maplesoft, a multi-billion dollar electronic empire headquartered in Quebec, Canada. The Canadian economy can no longer absorb mass emigration of runaway slaves from the Confederate State. Fox is eager to continue the work of her late husband, abolitionist William J. Fox. She contacts H.A.R.D. Corps and lays out an ambitious plan that will change the course of American history!
