The City and the Gate

In the last bloody minutes of his escape with Melia from her besieged Bronze Age city, all he knew was that he was in some kind of underground labyrinth. Then the earthquake hit, she was gone, and he was back in the twenty-first century. In this sequel to “The Icarus Jump,” former US Army Ranger Charles Shelby fights past underground monsters and ghosts to emerge once more in Melia’s time. He finds a city on the edge of collapse, his beautiful priestess distraught at the multiple tragedies that have befallen her people, and barbarians already in the gates. His superb military training and skill help him to train and lead a deadly band of women warriors against the northern heathen, rescue a captured king, and turn the tide of war. But at what cost to his own so human heart?
