About the Author
Rhys, formally known as Dean to all who know him, was born in Bridgend, South Wales. He was brought up by his grandparents. To him, they were his mum and dad. His mum had gone to London to work and to get away from Dean’s violent father. He got up to the usual mischief as you do being a young teenager. Nothing too bad though. His granddad taught him the rights and wrongs in life. Dean went to London eventually to be with his mother, as his grandparents were getting too old to put up with him and his antics. He made some bad friends in school and ended up in a lot of trouble. The judge offered to him:
Borstal: juvenile detention, or the British army!
Dean chose the British army. He went into the junior service that starts at fifteen and a half. He had a big shock but excelled and was noticed. He served over fourteen distinguished years in the infantry, SF Platoon and Recce Platoon. He saw active service too many times and saw too much, and it left deep scars! He left the army after a big decision and ventured into Civvy Street. Dean found it hard to readjust and hit the bottle. He made wrong friends and got into bother. The Royal British Legion helped and sorted him out. It took some time but he pulled through and resurfaced again. He joined a close-protection company in London and did some covert jobs because of his military background. He had to change his name because of some difficult circumstances. Now known as Rhys, he helps to run the operations of a close-protection agency. Rhys is married to Carmem, she is from Brazil, and she loves him to bits. Carmem knows all about his adventures. She was with him half the time!

Prologue
1999: Ben Harper was diagnosed with incurable cancer; too many late nights, booze and alcohol had taken its toll on his body.
Doctors all told him there was nothing they could do. The cancer was too far spread around his body.
Ben took it all in and carried on with his ways. He was only in his late thirties, had served fifteen long years in the army and had had many a tough posting, and more.
He received a call from the hospital’s cancer welfare officer.
Ben was told of a new procedure that was being tried out: to freeze the human body and revive in the future. Logic was future technology which was bound to cure cancer victims. He was offered the procedure on one condition though.
If Ben wanted to be woken up in fifty to a hundred years in the future, he had to pay a lot of money. He had it; a lottery winning, the sale of his book company, military pension and other things.
Ben was put to sleep and his body submerged into freezing solution. His body was put into a secured vault with a time monitor.
Something went wrong!
Ben woke up to find a humanoid robot looking after him inside some space capsule.
He had been asleep for over four hundred years.
Chapter 1

Something Went Wrong!
Ben could hear bleeping noises and some metallic talking voice, like a computer’s voice. He tried to open his eyes, but they were stuck down for some reason. He tried move his arms to investigate his eyes, but his arms were secured.
The beeping noises continued and so did the computer voice, though Ben couldn’t make out what was being said.
Ben tried to wriggle around, but he couldn’t move at all,
He laid there and tried to figure things out. Tears ran from his eyes and down his cheeks and they stung his face.
The computer voice continued to talk away, but Ben still couldn’t make out what it was saying.
He tried to concentrate and think about what was going on.
Ben thought this was just a bad dream and he would wake up soon and forget it.
Ben lay there awake. He managed to open his eyes after a lot of hard trying. More tears started to run down his face.
He wanted to wipe them from his face but couldn’t. All Ben could see was black. He started to think he had had an accident of some sort and was blind. Ben tried to call out, but he just gargled and choked. He could feel something was in his mouth and down his throat.
Ben coughed some more and started to cry. The tears ran down his face and stung his face.
He tried his hardest to think what was going on,
He could hear some more beeping noises and then some mechanical movement.
Ben tried to move and call out again, but he coughed and lay still.
He felt a sharp pain in his arm and a rush of oxygen down his throat; something was prodding him and talking in a computer voice.
He drifted off into another deep sleep.
Blurred visions and distorted memories flew through his mind and a lot more.
Ben remembered things, bad things. He dreamed a lot more and went back into a deep sleep.
The beeping noises continued and so did the chatter of a computer’s voice.
Ben slept on and dreamt.
He was being looked after by things that he had no knowledge or any idea of.
Ben woke up after how long, he wasn’t too sure. He felt warm and felt he needed to pee. He tried to hold it but peed anyway. Something nudged his arm and he felt a sharp pain again, and more oxygen was pumped into his throat. Ben tried to move again but to no use. He tried to call out but just gargled. His throat hurt and his tongue could feel something in his mouth. He laid there and listened to the computer voice chirping away.
What the hell is going on? he thought to himself. Again he tried to think, to remember anything that could explain what was happening.
Ben tried his hardest to turn his head around.
Something gave way that was holding his head secure and he moved his head around. He moved around some more and felt sleepy again. The mask came off his eyes as he caught it on something.
Ben tried to focus but everything was a blur. Ben blinked as much as he could, trying to fight the sleep, but he fell back to sleep again and dreamt and dreamt some more.
Ben opened his eyes, tears rolling down his cheeks. There was no robot talking noise anymore. He blinked and blinked again.
Ben concentrated and waited for a while. He opened his eyes again.
His focus got better and he strained his eyes, looking around.
Ben looked hard through his blurred vision. He started to get a pain in his head and closed his eyes.
The computer’s voice started to sound again. Ben felt another sting in his arm and he went back to sleep.
Ben opened his eyes; he blinked hard and hard again. His headache had gone, and he had strange memories flashing through his mind that didn’t make much sense to him. Nothing made any sense to him,
Ben looked about. He shook his head at what he saw. He was in disbelief.
Oh boy, am I in a bad dream? he thought to himself.
Ben blinked his eyes to get a better focus.
His vision came back and he saw more clearly where he was.
Some memories started to come back to him, but they didn’t make any sense.
He laid there, trying to understand where he was, but he started feeling very tired and fell asleep again.
Ben woke as he felt something moving his arm.
He tried to talk, but couldn’t. Ben tried to move around.
His vision was getting better.
There was a robot looking over him. It was half a robot with no legs and he was fixed to the wall. Ben shook his head and gurgled his voice.
“Hello Ben, I am glad to see you awake sir. Please let me administer this into your arm and then we can talk,” the robot announced.
Ben laid there and stared at him. He nodded and let the robot put a needle into his arm. Ben felt tired again and fell asleep again.
He dreamt some more.
Ben wasn’t too sure how long he had been sleeping for. He opened his eyes slowly and looked around. He saw the robot-android-looking thing pinned to the wall. There was a beeping noise and he looked to where it was coming from. There was a monitor on the wall which looked like it was showing his vital signs.
Ben tried to think, remember anything that would give him a clue as to what was going on.
He watched the monitor making the beeping noises and the jumping lines for what he thought was his heart, blood pressure and some other stuff. He looked down and saw his wrists had straps around them. There was a strap around his chest and more on his legs. He laid there and thought about things for a while. The robot started to chat away to itself. It moved its arm and took some medical instruments from a tray.
Ben, after a long while, had loosened the strapping on his right arm and wrist.
He laid there watching the robot do admin things.
The robot came forward with a syringe in his metal hand. “Oh Ben you are awake again. I need to inform you about a few disturbing matters. Just let me take care of you and then we can talk,” the android announced,
Ben got his hand out from the strap and grabbed the robots arm. He pulled as hard
