Time is a motherf@#er.

The rules that govern time machines are strict. Penalties for violations are severe and unpredictable. Ask decorated war hero John Banks how he knows.

History will record that the end of human civilization occurs six years from now, that a demonic virus will claim six billion lives, and that one John Arthur Banks died two weeks ago in a California wildfire. Forensics confirmed it. The Governor of California and the Joint Chiefs of Staff attended his funeral. It made all the news streams.

And yet...

John Banks is alive. Thanks to a little sleight of hand and a time machine, John's cheated death. That's the upside. The downside? It falls to him to prepare the world for the coming demon apocalypse. He can't change history. Time won't permit it, but he can prepare for the aftermath. Six years till doomsday and John's determined to cheat death one more time, on a global scale. Failing that, he'll have to lead the survivors out of Hell. There's only one problem with that option.

The Highway out of Hell is not on GPS.
