The first Turing gate, a mere hundred nanometers across, is forced open
in 1963, at the high-energy physics laboratory in Brookhaven; three years later,
the first man to travel to an alternate history takes his momentous step, and
an empire is born.

For fifteen years, the version of America that calls itself the Real has used
its Turing gate technology to infiltrate a wide variety of alternate Americas,
rebuilding those wrecked by nuclear war, fomenting revolutions and waging war
to free others from communist or fascist rule, and establishing a Pan-American
Alliance. Then a nation exhausted by endless strife elects Jimmy Carter on
a reconstruction and reconciliation ticket, the CIA's covert operations are
wound down, and the Real begins to wage peace rather than war.

But some people believe that it is the Real's manifest destiny to impose its
idea of truth, justice, and the American way in every known alternate history,
and they're prepared to do anything to reverse Carter's peacenik doctrine. When
Adam Stone, a former CIA field officer, one of the Cowboy Angels who worked
covertly in other histories, volunteers for reactivation after an old friend
begins a killing spree across alternate histories, his mission uncovers
a startling secret about the operation of the Turing gates and leads him into
the heart of an audicious conspiracy to change the history of every America in
the multiverse--including our own.

Cowboy Angels is a vivid, helter-skelter thriller in which one version of
America discovers the true cost of empire building, and one man discovers that
an individual really can make a difference.
