Soon it becomes a battle of life or death as Schaefer sends his army of Batteries and Goons to capture the group and bring them back to HQ. After the encounter, the group heads back to the spaceport, but Schaefer is just getting started. He explains why they are there and what his plans are for them. On their path to truth, the voice, AKA “Fredric Schaefer,” destroys all sense of comfort they may have. However, harsh reality comes crashing down. The groups bands together to seek out the answers. Finding out that each person comes from a different part of the military, the group feels they were all brought back to be part of a larger army with the possibility of fighting in a war. Over the course of a month and a half, five more people appear, all from different time eras, each with their last memory being what they were doing right beforehand, before waking up in the spaceport. His first encounter is Victor Healey, a soldier from the Gulf War, who woke up on the icy planet a month ago. The last thing he remembers was working routine maintenance on a ComSat. Wyatt wakes up in a spaceport on a dark, deserted, icy planet with no memory of how he got there. The story is told in first person through the eyes of Sergeant Torrin Wyatt, an Interplanetary Trade Federation Officer (ITFO).

Again, time has NO concept in this book, I can't stress that enough. The writing is smooth and flows from one idea to the next with little flaw. But as I read the story more, I was able to put time aside and focus on the characters themselves. Time has no concept in this book, which was a little difficult for me to get accustomed to at first. The author keeps you wondering what's going on and ties it all together in the end. After finishing the book, I had a need to read it again and again. It was quite an interesting read, it keeps you guessing. Winston IV is a sci-fi thriller that leaves you wanting more.
