1492: The Relativity of Tomorrow

In 1992, a storm tears open the Atlantic and swallows Dante Vicente Creelson, a NOAA scientist and former Navy pilot. He awakens in 1482 on the shores of Guanahaní—half a millennium away from everything he knew. Alone in a world of stone, canoes, and firelight, Dante carries the burden of a secret history: thirty years from now, Columbus will arrive.

But fate has given him allies. The Taíno, Maya, Aztec, Inca, Sioux, Hopi, Pueblo and all the vast nations of North America stand at the edge of their own tomorrow. With fragments of science and the brilliance of indigenous knowledge, they begin to craft impossible wonders: solar gliders soaring over jungle canopies, copper engines humming in canyon shadows, luminous weapons forged not for conquest—but for survival.

As alliances rise and empires tremble, one truth haunts them all: the sails of 1492 are already cutting across the sea.
