Independence Day (Time Patrol) by Bob Mayer
July 4th. The day that defines freedom. Six dates across history. One mission: Stop the Shadow before independence itself is erased.
The Shadow launches its most audacious attack yet-targeting July 4th, Independence Day, across multiple timelines. From the signing of the Declaration of Independence to a daring hostage rescue, from ancient Greek battlefields to the bloodiest battle of the Civil War, the Time Patrol must defend the very concept of freedom across the ages.
Entebbe, Uganda, 1976 - Eagle joins Israeli commandos for Operation Thunderbolt, the legendary rescue of hijacked hostages. But the Shadow has infiltrated the mission, and failure means more than just hostages dying-it means rewriting the definition of courage.
Philadelphia, 1776 - Doc arrives in Revolutionary America on the day the Declaration of Independence is signed, only to face an assassin with a bow. If the Founding Fathers fall, America never rises.
Monticello, Virginia, 1826 - Moms discovers Thomas Jefferson's deathbed secret: a cipher that leads to a document hidden alongside the Declaration. A document that could change everything-if she can get it to John Adams before it's too late.
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, 1863 - Roland lies among the dead and dying after Pickett's Charge. The turning point of the Civil War hangs in the balance, and so does the future of the nation.
Vicksburg, Mississippi, 1863 - Ivar must prevent Confederate General Pemberton from being compromised by the Shadow. If Vicksburg doesn't fall on July 4th, the entire course of the Civil War-and American history-will change.
Mantinea, Greece, 362 BC - Scout faces Pandora and Pyrrha, legendary figures who reveal the Shadow isn't just attacking random moments-it's targeting the precise junctures where timelines split. Today is one of those pivot points, and Scout must stop a battle that will determine whether freedom itself can exist.
Six agents. Six battles for liberty. One impossible deadline.
As the Time Patrol fights across the centuries, they discover that the Shadow understands something fundamental: freedom isn't just an American ideal-it's a pivot point in human evolution. If the Shadow succeeds in changing these key moments, the very concept of independence will be erased from human consciousness.
From the halls of independence to the fields of war, from ancient philosophy to modern special operations, INDEPENDENCE DAY delivers explosive action and profound questions about what freedom truly means. The Time Patrol faces their most personal mission yet: defending the idea that sparked a revolution-and changed the world forever.
Perfect for fans of alternate history, military thrillers, and stories that explore the price of freedom across the ages.
The Time Patrol series-where history's battles for freedom never end.
