Launa O'Brian's first assignment right out of West Point is beyond strange. They want her to help a peaceful band of farmers win a war lost 6,000 years before she was born! The Army has a time machine. They even tested it once. It didn't work, but trust them, they fixed it.
With the entire US Army to choose from, they picked Captain Jack Walking Bear for her partner. A combat vet, he's got a while different idea about this mission. But the Presicent's old college professor swears that women spoke first in the assemblies along the Danube River basin, 6,000 years ago, and guys paid attention.
The President gave Launa the command. So, how come the first thing they run into fifteen minutes after they drop is a band of horse raiders who only want to hit them over the head and steal everything they brought through time?
Did the time machine blow it? Was the President's old college professor a bit optimistic?
