โฆ Synopsis
Twenty years have passed since Paul and John were sent to different places in the first century.
Paul was sent to Sub-Sahara Africa, and over twenty years, he has helped the local people overcome many of the medical issues that are rampant in that part of the world. Malaria is cured, water is clean, and with modern seeds, hunger is a thing of the past. He has a growing, vibrant nation that has reached out to the empires of the first century for trade, and one of them covets his nation. As that nation prepares to invade, Paul must prepare a defense.
John was sent to first-century Texas, and he has achieved his goals. He has successfully domesticated bison. He has created a nation of city-states, with Texas Rangers keeping the peace. But his sons are not as content as their father. They have their own goals in mind, and they do not share the morals of their father. Each one will dramatically change the timeline as they head south, east, and west for fortune, power, and glory.
Warning- This story contains graphic depictions of violence. This story also depicts acts of war, including sexual assault. The sexual assault is not graphic, but it is in this story because historically, in that situation, it would have happened. The sexual assault is no more graphic than what you would see in a history book and less graphic than in some, but it is there.
