The Archivist Project is sent to the 1980's to recover lost satellite data. Reinhardt Zeitler, a man who's family has suffered for generations after his great-great grandparents were killed by the West German Police, stumbles across a dead body with an Anti-Chronometer.

So, for right now I am genre and series locked. I could write something completely new, but because I'm working on Redshift, I don't want to pull a GRRM and never ever finish it because I go off on a thousand side projects.

This is a teaser scene from a book that I'm beginning to write as part of my Archivist series. Currently titled "Redshift" this fourth installment explores an alternative history view of a Soviet style regime over North America. This scene is, currently, only for this contest, though I might include it into the final version of "Redshift" because I do like it's feel. It's presented as a stand-alone piece and it's final inclusion in "Redshift" will not include all of the world building details.
