Publisher's summary

The world is in crisis. Camp David lies in ruins. Fortifications resembling the Berlin Wall surround The White House. An assault on Guantanamo Bay releases dangerous enemies and leaves slaughtered guards lying in their blood. In the Vatican, the Pope is at risk, while in Moscow a powerful man seeks revenge. In the never-ending war of good versus evil, passionate men and women will take on the challenge of rescuing civilization. But one will wage an even more personal crusade that may be doomed from the start. Of the author’s debut novel FOUND IN TIME the Midwest Book Review wrote, “A deftly crafted and impressively original military science fiction action/adventure novel by an author with a genuine flair for engaging and holding his reader's total attention from beginning to end, ‘FOUND IN TIME’ by J. K. Kelly is especially and unreservedly recommended…” Kelly continues the extraordinary journey and riveting action in THE LOST PULSE. “Combine the ongoing fight against terrorism with a time-travel story to get a feel for the thriller elements central to The Lost Pulse. It's a gripping sequel to Found in Time, in which a select group of Marines tested a top-secret time travel technology in the hope of turning the battle against terrorism in their favor. JK Kelly leaves nothing to wonder about, for newcomers. Prior events are introduced in a recap that segues nicely into the story's opening dilemma: "The raid on Camp David had taken place weeks ago, but to him, it felt like yesterday.” The use of time travel as a government tool to change outcomes and influence human affairs is not a new idea; but what sets The Lost Pulse apart from similar-sounding scenarios is its focus on thriller-style, nonstop action that eschews a focus on scientific probability alone in favor of exploring the political and social conundrums posed by terrorist actions. Discussions of responses to terrorism and their impact on global freedom are juxtaposed with fast-paced action as the vigilante time travelers face the challenge of just how to affect their future. Readers thus receive intriguing, thought-provoking action that gives pause for thought on the mechanics of directing freedom as they absorb a fast-paced, supercharged plot peppered with satisfying cat-and-mouse games. In many ways, The Lost Pulse is about actively creating a better world. The question becomes: who should be in charge of this manipulation—and do the end results justify the means? Most of all, is any single group of individuals savvy enough to wield this power without destructive results? Faced with such questions as well as unexpected acts of heroism and difficult truths from the past, characters charge into the unknown in a manner that will engage thriller readers right up to the end, thoroughly immersing them in the lives of Popes, Presidents, Marines, and individuals who fight for love, family, freedom, and self.” A review from D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review. Fans of Douglas E. Richard's blockbuster time travel novel Split Second will love The Lost Pulse.... BestThrillers.com
