FROM FAR IN THE FUTURE COMES A HIDEOUS WARNING OF DESTRUCTION.

But the message is not clear, and the result is a mad scramble to change the present—all possible presents—in order to avoid the future. For the recipients of the message are not humans but Kriths, lizardlike beings from a parallel Timeline.

Using machines that move sideways in time, a band of dedicated mercenaries and Krith leaders cut a wide swath through countless Timelines. It is a brutal and bloody struggle that has no end—until one of their strongest fighters begins to ask questions the Kriths would rather not answer.

This is the first book of the `Timeliner Trilogy` by Richard C. Meredith. Richard C. Meredith was an American writer, illustrator and graphic designer, best known as the author of science fiction short stories and novels including We All Died at Breakaway Station and The `Timeliner Trilogy`. Tragically he died unexpectedly on March 8, 1979, aged only 41, following a stroke brought on by a brain hemorrhage.
In this book a message of an impending alien invasion that will wipe out all life on the many different earth`s, both inhabited by the Krith and by humankind, is received from 2000 years in the future. The Krith form a special paramilitary team of humans that has the ability to cross parallel realities, preparing all possible futures for the attack. But when a timeliner named Eric Mathers is told that the pan-dimensional beings called the Krith may have a hidden agenda, he must attempt to discover if the war he has been fighting for the last fourteen years is really for the greater good or just part of the `greatest lie`.
I actually read this trilogy in the seventies when it was first published and remembered how much I enjoyed it. I got all three books recently at a used book store and decided to revisit it as a pleasant reminder of the past. This is a great series and I recommend it highly.
