Hostile Emergence is the THIRD book in my exciting Across Horizons series. Unforgettable characters, plenty of strange creatures, and a mind-bending surprise you'll be thinking about for a long time to come. Time travel like you've never seen it before!
Skyra, Lincoln, and their companions have narrowly escaped a brutal war between Neanderthals and humans. Now they find themselves far in the future, in a world filled with a puzzling assortment of creatures, many with a craving for flesh and a habit of attacking in swarms.
With equipment remaining for only one more time jump, the group must try to make a life here or risk jumping to an even more hostile environment. The good news? A city of gleaming skyscrapers is visible in the distance.
After a harrowing journey through miles of wilderness, the travelers discover the city is empty. Or is it? Never mind the giant killer bats roosting in the abandoned buildings—something else is here, a presence not even Lincoln, with his vast technological knowledge, can explain.
Skyra is Neanderthal, Lincoln is human, but they are bound by an intense love for each other. They just want to find a safe place to start a new life. The abandoned city seems like a suitable home—until the residents begin to show themselves.

Here are a few of my favorite reviews of Hostile Emergence:
"Smith takes this in such a far reaching realm you will not see what's coming around each corner, yet does so in a perfectly believable way. As always, he opens your mind to pathways of thought you likely would never have considered. Yet, those thoughts are perfectly plausible and backed up with supporting and easy to understand science. He has such an incredible way of describing places, people, flora and fauna, and totally foreign environments to make it appear right before your eyes."

"... a rollercoaster ride of new experiences and adventures. With some surprising twists along the way. Great addition to this series definitely recommend this story and the whole series."
- Ron on Goodreads
"Hostile Emergence carries Lincoln’s team on another thrilling and dangerous journey. As the story layers peel away, each revelation allows the reader to fully experience the group’s struggles and motivations. A science-minded reader will love the way Smith’s detailed descriptions divulge clues as they learn about everything from temporal distortion technology to evolutionary arms races."

"An engaging and enjoyable read, with a satisfying conclusion but a definite hook into the next book (mini cliffhanger) that I look forward to reading."
