Future Tense

Future Tense is a reality-based thriller, which takes place in the near future ( 2022-2028 ) with a science fiction twist. The first book in the series, Time Will Tell, told the story of four scientists from a Nazi-controlled future ( in the year 2133 ) who travel back in time to 1938 to try to change the outcome of World War ll. In Future Tense, Vito, the son of Clem Rizzoli (from TWT) is recruited by his childhood friend, who happens to be the current president of the United States. During his travels, Vito meets a man who had known his father and his father's closest friend, the time-traveler, Jeff. Over dinner, this man reveals the top-secret work that Clem, Jeff, and a British agent named Louise, together accomplished with world-saving consequences. This knowledge sets Vito on a new path to learn more and, after meeting Jeff and Louise's daughter, Victoria, a CIA officer, to team up with her to deal with domestic, international, and extra-terrestrial crises.
Victoria's children, Jake and Lola, are endowed with extraordinary mental gifts by a supreme being known as "The Defender", this supreme Being assisted their grandfather in Time Will Tell. Vito, in turn, adopts a set of orphan twins who are battling leukemia. An special gift from the Defender returns Vito's adopted children to health.
Blue-collar Vito and British-born Victoria make for an interesting team.
Future Tense is a "what-if" with humor and richly-drawn personal relationships. It combines real-life looming problems with possible solutions in a page-turning format. Reality based science fiction at it's best.
