The Brotherhood of the Ancient Man

THERE ARE WORLDS... There are worlds where you took a left instead of a right; where you took a chance and found 'the one'; where you abandoned that well-worn path and were never seen again. There are worlds where your most cherished dreams become your waking nightmares; where your friends are not what they seem; and where those you've lost mourn YOU. There are worlds where the most intelligent life in the solar system is not found on Earth. Now imagine being able to travel between those worlds. At will. Jessica Shackleton considered herself someone less than ordinary-a 14-year-old girl caring for a broken, alcoholic father. Now, she's crossed interdimensional boundaries on a rescue mission so dangerous it's no longer a question of will she ever be able to return home, but will she survive long enough to even try?Pursued by the U. S. government's dark-shadow agencies far beyond American borders and across multiple worlds, her 'dream team' of scientific experts will relentlessly seek the truth as they attempt to prevent the deployment of an unthinkable weapon-one that promises lasting peace only through the subjugation of every country in the world, including their own. Along the way, she'll experience the heights of bravery in pursuit of a selfless goal and witness the depths of evil mined by those in pursuit of ultimate power. Against overwhelming adversity, she and her friends will discover just what they're capable of-with some paying the ultimate price.
