Leaders who rely on war and fear. The men and women who refuse to accept a tyrannical government. And an unreliable means of time travel in which most people don't survive. Welcome to the nightmarish future of The Theta Timeline, where '1984' meets 'Slaughterhouse-Five.'Freedom was not stolen overnight, but gradually chipped away through a campaign of war and terror. People were told new laws and restrictions were for their own good. But the reality was a monstrous regime bent on controlling its subjects. Now, there is only one way to stop the tyranny: go back in time and prevent it from ever starting. At times eloquent, funny, satirical, and infuriating, The Theta Timeline is not only Dietzel's most powerful book, it is as important as any dystopian vision created to date.

The Theta Timeline

As the human population continues to decline, most people travel south to maintain a semblance of the life they know. Entire cities are abandoned. But following a senseless act of violence, one man travels north, toward forgotten lands. Is it possible for a loving husband and father, surrounded by reminders of mankind's impending extinction, to reclaim what he lost?A DIFFERENT ALCHEMY is the tale of a man realizing that everyone has their own pain and their own way of dealing with it. It is the story of how one father's loss mirrors an entire society's sorrow. It is also a lesson about the importance of forgiveness.

A Different Alchemy

The warlord Arc-Mi-Die continues to throw the galaxy into chaos with his unique brand of crazed attacks. A warrior, shrouded in mystery, goes in search of the deadly lunatic. Back on Edsall Dark, Julian Reiser returns as a hero. He is even given the legendary Sword in the Stone. It is said that whoever possesses the sword will be the next great ruler. However, some people understand that the purpose of the Round Table was to do away with such leaders. Will General Reiser help bring about the change that the Round Table sorely needs or will he become the next galactic emperor?In this chapter of the Space Lore saga, Arthurian legend blends with Shakespearean tragedy to create an epic space fantasy unlike anything you have read before.

In 2013, the first of three novels was released that depicted a quiet and bleak ending of mankind. 'The Man Who Watched The World End' provided a gradual and inevitable extinction without fighting or action, only people growing old and witnessing each aspect of society slowly fade away around them. Readers loved the personal and introspective take on the end of the world, and the following year 'A Different Alchemy' provided readers with another story set in the Great De-evolution. The third apocalyptic novel, 'The Hauntings of Playing God, ' offers a final story of one person struggling to survive as the human population has disappeared around her. For the first time, The Complete Collection presents all three Great De-evolution books in one volume. Be warned, these are not stories for people who need action sequences or pretty endings.
