Two reluctant tour guides and five passengers on a routine tour in the asteroid belt discover a hidden base on a mysterious asteroid. Now, they have been entrusted with an on-going quest to travel through time and save all of humanity. But what will they do when one of them is put on trial by a futuristic time traveling society? Looks like this crew will need a little help from the unseen, mysterious eighth crew member. From barbarian attacks to an exploding space station, travel through the centuries with the crew of the Mandelbrot base in a... CHAOTIC PLANET!

The author blends military history, secret codes and chaos theory with a dash of humor and romance into a novel that will surely be talked about for years to come. There is even an entire chapter called the Time Traveler's Handbook which explains the code of conduct for all time travelers and offers a rigorous mathematical discussion of time travel including changes in the time line and time paradoxes. For history buffs, the novel ends with a discussion of one of the historical places\events visited by the crew.
