This book is the weird love child of the 1960s spy craze and science fiction. A time traveller comes from the far future to prevent the world being taken over by AI... and tags along on an adventure involving secret weapons, beautiful double agents, underground cults in the back-streets of Delhi and Communist mad scientists working from hidden bases in Tibet. In other words, this book has everything but the kitchen sink (and if a kitchen sink had been included you could bet on it being some kind of Bondian espionage device!) And at the end of it all, I still couldn't figure out the action related to the dystopian future our time traveller was trying to prevent.Crossroads in TimeThe future of life on Earth is at stake ... now. A few days, hours, or minutes ago civilization took the wrong turn. Can the fatal mistake be corrected? Can the future be changed?Jason Starr, genius, found himself the focal point of a complex Communist plot against America...and as a thoroughly discredited scientist, there seemed nothing he could do about it.Not until he was joined by Adam Cyber, that is. Adam Cyber: last man--or superman--to survive in that bleak future; and Jason Starr's Mind Brother. Cyber returned through millenia to try to change Earth's course. And when the Mind Brothers met, computers went crazy, all predictions were worthless--and a new kind of spy was born!
