Summary:
Many changes are fast approaching our world, changes for the worst. Are you aware? The time for this change will be here before anyone can prepare. Many will lose their lives and others will be driven to insanity. This is the change to a new dawn, a time that many have heard about but few have ever seen. Our world's fears of war and terror have no measure to what it will soon be encountering. Be prepared, dawn has never looked so fierce and horrifying in all of time. No power can stop this, no force strong enough to prevent it from happening. Can anyone or anything salvage our world? We must put all of our hopes and prayers into four young college students that have been thrown into a fight. As a team, they will face the perils of learning who they really are and what they must become to protect the people that mean so much to them. Life, love, school, and all other dramatic problems are put to shame when real danger strikes. If you had the choice between fighting for the bad or dying for the good, which would you choose? I welcome you to the new dawn. I wish you luck; not that it will help.

Extra Explanation***Adventurous novel about the lives of four college students who's worlds are turned upside down when a man from the past decides to take the future into his own hands. They must learn skills that they never even knew were possible and save the freedom of millions. During this time, the world takes on a transformation into the past.

the best years of a young person’s life;
it’s the place of ultimate self-discovery.
They were only scratching the surface."
