Kris Davenport, a surgical
intern, is woken up in the middle of the night and is scared shitless by a
future version of herself. An older, weary, harder, tougher, kick ass version,
but definitely her. Her future self tells her she has come back to send Kris
forward, again, to get The Prophecy right. She can’t fail because Armageddon
has happened and the dark future rests on her shoulders. She needs to fulfill
The Prophecy and turn the dark future to the light. And to do that she needs to
run up the side of a mountain before dawn comes. After that, well…it gets very
interesting.
This story reminded me a lot of
Terminator because there were many parallels. You take an ordinary
run-of-the-mill person who doesn’t appear to have anything really special about
them and throw them into an unbelievable mind-boggling situation and see if
they have the gonads to do what is needed. Time travel, a prophecy, end of the
world as we know it, survival of mankind depending on basically one person, a
person we don’t think has what it takes to get the job done. Ready, set, watch
it unfold.
I loved this story. It was smooth
and fast-paced, the characters were interesting, well-fleshed and believable,
the plot exciting. I certainly hope our future isn’t dark like the one in this
story. That would suck and not in a good way. At least we’re left with hope and
that’s never a bad thing.
