Okay just to keep everyone updated on what I am working on in the QL field.

Now the second chapter in the Devil's Due cycle is called Dark Reflection. This is an interesting story. Sam leaps forward into a man who has survived Armageddon. He is in the remains of a city (I am not going to say which one) but it has been destroyed. The rag tag survivors here and there are preying upon one another just to stay alive. There is no law or government. Its the end of the world.

And it is here that Sam encounter a mysterious man called Logan (Yes the same Logan from Devil's Due 1) who tells what has happened. That a great war descended upon the world and has destroyed almost all life on the planet. But Logan points out that this war would never have come about if not for Sam Beckett leaping in time and space in the first place.

Sam is, to say the least shocked. He asks Logan how he caused this. Logan explains to Sam that because of him, a man who should have died in an earlier time, was saved by Sam and now lived on.

In the years that followed this man rose to power. First he became a US senator out of Indiana. But then later rose to the office of president of the United States. And it was during his term in office that the last war broke out.

In the end this president launched America's nuclear arsenal. Bring about Armageddon. Logan tells Sam the only way to stop this future from coming to being is that he has to go back. Go back in time and kill this man before he could ever come to power.

It's the only say to save the world.

Sam asks who the man is that he has to kill.

Mister Logan tells him one name. Tom Beckett. Sam's older brother.
