The Third Age
Book Two of The New Foundation Project series
A blend of historical-fantasy and speculative fiction, set in a new world
Past and future collide in the New Foundation Project series. Humanity’s hope for a fresh start on a new planet hits a snag when a group of would-be settlers arrive at their destination and discover not the technologically advanced colony they expected, but a feudal, pre-industrial society that seems straight out of Earth’s past.
The Beginning of the Adventure
In Book One, Piers Haldon is the last, best hope for Redemption, an interplanetary ark ship bringing settlers to their new home. As the most powerful Empath the ship can spare, he is charged with a critical mission: scout the planet and find a way for the ship to avoid catastrophe.

On Earth in the days before the New Foundation Project began, an island off the coast of Washington State is a dark-sky sanctuary. Eccentric visionary Peter Caladen has established a research center there, and he assembles a team of brilliant scientists for his ambitious, fringe project to recover and expand the technology of time travel. Ginny Marcotte, who is studying human empathy, visits the island to support her partner, Simon Tollis, who has just lost funding for his research into machine consciousness. When Ginny disappears, Simon’s quest to find her reveals connections between their research that could be the key to a fresh start for humanity.
