The Future Arrives by Stealth
Told from the perspective of 2019, when all the Earth is convulsing and the United States of America is collapsing due either to Nature taking back her own, or to a HAARP-driven error, or to a purposeful Tesla sabotage to force a new beginning, Sub Rosa America and the Fall of the New Atlantis is the occult history of the United States since November 22, 1963 that we all could have read years ago if we'd been on Route 66 cruising through a quantum Time field . . . Book II, “The Future Arrives By Stealth,” begins with a last glance at the old California of Father Junípero Serra, Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath, and Hollywood/Pasadena. Once the young seekers exchange the coast for the desert, the mysteries of Time Present and Time Past begin pointing to Time Future, and when the Mayan Timekeeper joins them, Enterprise players back East—already on the trail of Thomas and Baby Rose—shift into high gear. Synchronously, military Strangeloves loose a satellite-engendered quantum Time experiment in the Southwest desert. Like Hamlet's ghost, dreamers and dead alike are quickened to warn the Sixties pilgrims of the brave new America being brewed in the cauldron of the Enterprise.
