Hello Mr Willis,
If you don’t mind sharing the truth, did an interview with a John Clifton really occur (regardless of what he really said or the validity of what he said) or was it also a fictional construct? I mean I do realize you might want to build a suspense over the entire idea but please do share what you’d like.
BTW Great read regardless.

There are plenty of us, dare I say most of us, readers that do not understand the science nor the math to study up on in order to find the answer to the OPs question. Just doing a preliminary search for John J. Clifton turned up no results other than your book, which I am thoroughly enjoying.
One thing that makes me question the veracity of this work is why the name of the next president, after Trump, is not included somewhere? Surely, a history about the American Conflict would include the names of more presidents, not just Obama, Trump and some president in the far off future.
Can you give us more to go on, perhaps more research topics about the events that allegedly transpired.

Actually, the original draft did identify the next president, as well as some additional specific events in our immediate future. However, while preparing the draft for publishing, the editors felt constrained to remove the next president’s name from the book, and tone down the level of specificity for the events occurring before the Conflict begins. Obviously, some of the events were left in, but even with those, the editors changed many of the names and locations.
This was done for the same reason why the names of living individuals are omitted from online genealogy websites; to protect their privacy and avoid accusations of slander by the named individuals. So, the events leading up to the Conflict were “toned down” and names changed. The editors also persuaded me to add the unusual disclaimer into the copyright, “Given the extraordinary (and presently-unverifiable) nature of the information presented within this volume, all names, characters, businesses, places, events, locales, image attributions, and incidents contained herein should be considered to be fictitious, and any resemblance to actual companies or organizations, to actual persons, living or dead, or to actual events, entirely coincidental.”
I am pleased you are enjoying the book. The sequel is being written in the form of a true novel and should be available in January.

In my pdf version, It does mention Trump as follows: “Following the election of Donald Trump in 2017, democratic political leaders who had enjoyed years of unrestrained support for socialist programs under the Obama presidency felt threatened and disenfranchised. Despite economic, civic, and international achievements during the Trump presidency, democratic party leaders refused to support the Trump administration.” However, I find this description from the “future” overly republican or capitalistic (In the book, it mentions that the republican takes a capitalistic side while the democrats takes the socialist side). I mean, look at the moral destitute of Trump and the republicans following him today- The approval and media coaching of the killing of Khashoggi, the tremendous lying of almost everything, the grovelling a the feet of Putin so that he can build his hotel in Moscow, to prevent the release of his sex pictures at a Moscow hotel by the FSB and to gain other favors from Moscow, the fraud on his tax returns with his father.
Also, what achievements? The firing of Mattis so that the world will plunge into another chaos, the firing of EVERYONE so that there is no one left to run the government except by his whim, the petty verbal fights with porn stars and talk show hosts that strokes only his insecure ego, the shutdown of a government that should not be shutdown because the wall should be paid for by the Mexican Government, the wasting of time and taxpayers money fighting against Muller, and the opening up of capitalists ravaging the environment
Basically the only achievement that I see from him is throwing this country and the Constitution into chaos and pitting races to fight against each other. He is an immature brat who only succeeded because his father bailed him out over and over again, and by stealing his brother’s money by changing his fathers will. He praises dictators and wishes to turn US into one. People elected him because they wanted a change but he turned out to be more kleptocratic, political than all his predecessors, yet the quote from the “future” is as above.
I do believe time travel is possible but the recount in the book is quite republican oriented (maybe because they won the war and they can write history however they want) but don’t forget that the socialists are rising up because of the lopsided distribution of wealth in a capitalistic society (people working 3 jobs and still can’t get by while the rich are getting much richer) and the incredible immorality led by Trump’s new GOP.
Also, the recount did not mention anything about the terrible state of the environment. I really doubt that mankind can stop global warming.

Dee,
I have been scared for this country and it’s direction for a long time. It’s the blind ego that is in your “voice” that supports the books claim even more, that a war will be started due to such superior thoughts. “If” (and it’s a big if) this book is based on fact, the Democratic side that is still sooooo stubborn that you would refute “history” with your opinion and despise of Trump, over a warning war and death that is to come. As the author stated that time has infinite possibilities to keep our path secured as a country going into a war, we cannot change what will happen. So even with such knowledge, you think ranting in anger is the cure… It’s so easy and sad to see such possibilities of this books truth, due to our country’s open willingness to become weak to the loud and angry towards love- tolerant of the vicious and blind of the “powerful.”
This book has done one thing for me… realize that in the scheme of things, I don’t change this world among the few greats, as I am not in this book. So I have merely the rule to love one another as God has loved me….
On a last note, if this book is true, and your young enough to live through and lucky enough to do the same. I hope the guilt for the lives lost due to a side of selfishness changes your heart. We are wrong in this country to be sooo tolerant, as I have learned that tolerance turns to laziness-which turns to entitlement-which then turns to superiority, in the end, our egos and small minds then turn violent with “cause.”
May God bless us all if this is true….

Book 3 is nearing completion. Clifton makes a re-appearance and helps two temporal enforcement officers locate and arrest an escaped executive from the future, who is hiding in the past. The book is set for publication at the end of February 2021, and the title will be “Elle, Temporal Enforcement Officer”.
