Battle Out Of Time - By Dwight V. Swain

Description

Burke, a contemporary soldier, is thrust into the shadowy halls of ancient Crete, where the legendary Minotaur looms not just as myth but as a terrifying, other‑worldly menace. Caught in a storm‑laden night beneath the palace’s flickering lamps, he must protect Ariadne, the enigmatic Minoan princess, while the jealous king Minos and a drunken, volatile Theseus stalk the corridors. With a vintage watch on his wrist and a pistol at his side, he confronts the surreal clash of modern technology and Bronze‑Age superstition.

As the labyrinth’s darkness tightens, Burke faces a choice: retreat to the safety of his own time or plunge deeper into a maze that could decide humanity’s fate. The story balances tense, pulse‑pounding action with moments of fragile intimacy, showing how even in the most alien of settings, human emotions still flare. Listeners will be drawn into a suspenseful, time‑bent adventure that asks what courage looks like when the past and an unknown horror collide.
