The River of Our Destiny — Alan Rodgers

This is the tale of the man sailed the river of our destiny. It starts in the barrios of an alien city with a name no man can pronounce, where they sell a drug called Life, that will kill you if you take it. It leads through the events that underpin our lives like the struts of some great superstructure: in the end it will take Walt Fulton to the verge of the veil of time itself. No one knows what lies beyond that. None who have gone there ever have returned.
