Assault on Kapustin Yar

In winter 1944 the Nazis complete a pair of atomic bombs, the Manhattan Project is woefully behind schedule, and a derelict spacecraft from the future crash lands in Russia. Sixty years later the Russians have constructed a top secret military base called Kapustin Yar around the wreckage. The Guardians of the Timeline discover that in the aftermath of a major conflict one of their team has been lost in time and meet a mysterious group of people who cause each member to question the paradox of freewill and predestination. The newcomers are as passionate about preserving the timeline and finding the missing team member as the Guardians. They combine forces and embark on an adventure that takes them from the desert of Iraq, to the caves of Easter Island, to a life or death race against time on the freeways of Los Angeles, and ultimately to an assault on Kapustin Yar. There they seek access to the remains of the spaceship that crashed sixty years before so that core members of the team may embark on a mission to ensure that events in 1944 transpire as they should and the timeline is preserved. Assault on Kapustin Yar is the third book in the Guardians of the Timeline series.
