Second Fire — Mike Shepherd

When a designer plague threatens every living thing on earth, a desperate world sends two 21st century soldiers back in time to change their own history. Their mission: to win a war that was lost 6,000 years ago and change human history from conquest to cooperation. The odds against them are impossibly long as the war between two primitive tribes ignites into a Second Fire. The horsemen have brought war to the People of the Badger, a tribe that never had a reason to fear or kill another human being. With their 21st century knowledge, Lieutenant Launa O'Brian and Captain Jack Walking Bear must lead the people down a new path or watch them face extinction. As dissension reigns among the tribe, between those who would learn to fight, Jack and Launa are called upon to sacrifice their own lives to complete their mission. Only they know that the People of the Badger are civilization's only hope to erase the thousands of years of brutality that lie ahead for the human race.
