Ashlyn Chronicles 2: 2288 A.D.: A Time Travel Sci-Fi Fantasy
by Glenn Van Dyke
"2288 A.D. is a beautifully painted masterpiece of time travel fiction. It'll make you want to read book 1 of the series a second time, simply to find the cleverly hidden gems they seeded throughout the story. "Damn those time paradoxes." A book club don't miss, read." Fantasy Book Club
2288 A.D. is the 2nd book of the #1 BEST SELLING, 'The Ashlyn Chronicles' series. The first novel 2287 A.D., is a Kindle ALL-STAR (TOP 100 AMAZON BOOK) that has SOLD over 100,000 copies in its first year.
As a thank you, you will RECEIVE (2) FREE 2288 A.D. COLLECTORS ITEMS: An HD copy of the cover featuring Ashlyn AND a more risque cover that AMAZON won't allow - done by World Class Illustrator, Claudio Aboy. They make awesome screensavers. All FREE and included! To get them, simply visit: 2287AD.com.
And while 2288 A.D. can be read as a stand alone novel, ( and it has NO cliffhanger ) we strongly, repeat STRONGLY recommend you first read Book 1, 2287 A.D. It is where the characters are first introduced and there is much to be learned about the far reaching arc of the story line and why they make the choices they do.
It should also be noted that the heroes in the novel have superlative, BIGGER THAN LIFE abilities and are similar to those used by various characters in Star Trek; the 'FORCE' in STAR WARS and Ray Harryhausen's 60's classic, 'Jason and the Argonauts.' They are all norms in today's hybrid FANTASY / SCI-FI fiction world where rules are often bent for entertainment value. 2288 is fantasy/sci-fi, NOT hard military fiction.
AND NOW, THE FUN STUFF (SYNOPSIS):
The first novel, 2287 A.D. tells the story of Ashlyn Parker and Steven Sherrah, the man who is in command of Earth's last surviving starship. He has been struggling to keep the handful of Earth's survivors alive, hiding from the most vicious and powerful enemy humanity has ever known, an enemy that is relentless in its determination to see that every last human is killed.
-
Without wanting to give away spoilers...2288 A.D. starts where the first novel ends. It will take them back in time almost 7,000 years. This is where the secret that Ashlyn holds, is revealed. It will lead them on an incredible journey of time travel through strange new worlds, changing the history of the universe forever, and our understanding of everything as we know it.
-
Like 2287 A.D., ... 2288 A.D. is packed full of action and adventure. Personally, we hate a 3 page description of how a star-drive engine operates. We hope that you too will enjoy a story that moves quickly.

OUR THANKS TO: Zechariah Sitchin, the Ancient Aliens show on History Channel, Erich von Daniken, Richard C. Hoagland, Gerald Clark and George Noory. Thank you for brightening the darkness.

"2288 is a well-described, fast paced, uniquely painted story with an element of aliens as our creators. I really enjoyed Ashlyn's journey as she fought bravely for what she believed in. The characters in these novels are beautifully written, and will really get your imagination going. A great read."

"A gripping read from start to finish! This big epic novel has it all, history, government conspiracies, alien abduction, space battles and treks across alien worlds--with a HOT female lead! The author knows how to tell a tale.

About the Author
Welcome! We are a husband and wife author team that look forward to bringing you many novels in the years ahead. We hope that you enjoy the 'The Ashlyn Chronicles' series. The 6 books in the series are a culmination of 15 years of research into the works of Zechariah Sitchin, Carl Sagan, Richard C. Hoagland, Gerald Clark and many others. Utilizing their understanding of ancient texts, we wrote what we believe is a plausible and logical, albeit fictional story of Earth's history and man's creation, built around likable and memorable characters.
Avid sci-fi fans, we dabbled a bit in Hollywood. Glenn's dream job came as a bit part in Return of the Jedi, playing one of Jabba's bad guys in the desert barge scene. If you ever get the chance, have him tell you about what he did to Chewbacca. He got a heavy scolding from George Lucas, lol.

Today, we have a large collection of signed, Star Trek and Star Wars memorabilia. All of which is an inspiration to our imagination. Always willing to talk science fiction, we invite you to reach out to us: gvandyke@2287AD.com
All the best, Renee Van Dyke and Glenn Van Dyke
