Publisher Description
Major Rodger Y. Murphy should have died when his helicopter crashed off the coast of Mogadishu in November, 1993.

Promising to return to the 55 Tauri B system after completing a distant mission, they leave the twentieth century castaways with a daunting objective: establish a base of operations on the main world, using local allies they have yet to recruit and enemy equipment they have yet to seize.

About the Authors
Charles E. Gannon is the author of science fiction and fantasy novels in numerous series, including the Caine Riordan novels, which have won the Compton Crook Award and been nominated for the Nebula Award. He is the coauthor with Eric Flint of 1636: The Papal Stakes and 1636: Commander Cantrell in the West Indies in the bestselling Ring of Fire series and coauthor with others of many other titles. He is a former professor and a member of SIGMA, the “SF think-tank,” which has advised various intelligence and defense agencies since the start of the millennium.
Griffin Barber spent his youth in four different countries, learning three languages while holding down jobs in marinas, bars, cafés, and, memorably, cold-calling casino guests. Finally settled in Northern California with a day job as a police officer in a major metropolitan department, he lives the good life with his wife and daughter. 1636: Mission to the Mughals, coauthored with Eric Flint, was his first novel; he has also written numerous short stories. Second Chance Angel is what he hopes to be the first of many collaborations with Kacey Ezell.
