Safely arrived in the year 2037, General George Washington is a ‘stranger in a strange land’.
Settling in at his historic home at Mount Vernon, he finds himself in a world where his vision for America is crumbling before his eyes.
President Harrison has asked Washington to speak to the American People about how the Founding Fathers intended the US government to operate.
Charged with protecting General Washington, Marc McKnight and his team of time travel experts must address threats from multiple directions. Career politicians and the corporate media plot to stop Washington from upsetting the status quo. International adversaries believe Washington’s death would prevent the ratification of the US Constitution in 1787 and cut off America’s ascension to superpower status before it starts.
This mission is Marc McKnight’s biggest challenge. He must protect Washington and ensure that he returns to 1787 to attend the Constitutional Congress in Philadelphia.
STRANGER is episode TWO of The Time Patriot, the new Marc McKnight Adventures series by Kim Megahee.

I’m often asked, “Why did you pick George Washington?”
That’s a good question because there are many great characters from the Founding Fathers to draw from. My first pick was Thomas Jefferson, who was an extremely colorful and controversial figure. But precedents set in my previous books required that the time frame be limited to early 1787, and Jefferson was in Paris at the time, serving as the new United States ambassador to France.
During my research, I found a book that put forth the case that the principal drivers toward a new, constitution-based government were Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, James Madison, and George Washington. It became clear to me that Washington’s influence was compelling, and when I learned about his availability (the trips to his properties west of the Alleghenies), the choice became obvious.
