'The Last Patrol' Story Code '9607' by Bob and Wanda Duncan

6th January 1815: Doug and Tony arrive during the last battle of the War of 1812, when the British forces led by Colonel Southall were wiped out in a disastrous battle against those of Andrew Jackson. After Doug narrowly avoids being shot, he and Tony are captured by a British patrol and brought before Colonel Southall, who immediately takes them for enemy spies, and orders that they be tried. In the present, at project Tic-Toc, Lieutenant General Kirk elicits the aid of General Southall, the descendent of the doomed Colonel; the General has studied the history of his ancestor, whom records state was a butcher because he attacked Jackson’s forces to the East, where they were strongest, even though he was given a signal to attack to the West. Doug and Tony are found guilty, but the Colonel tells Tony that if he takes the patrol-leader, Hotchkiss, to the American lines to retrieve information on the location of the enemy troops, then he and Doug’s life will be spared. Tony agrees, unaware that Southall has instructed Hotchkiss to kill him anyway. As Doug faces a firing squad, his and Tony’s only hope lies with General Southall, who must somehow find a way to convince Washington to allow him to be transported through the Time Tunnel…

Cliff-hanger: Tony and Doug arrive on a tropical island in the middle of a volcanic eruption…
