Early this morning, she will travel out to a remote location called Wardenclyffe and get the inside scoop on the latest project being readied for full-scale, plugs-out testing by famed scientist and inventor, Doctor Nikola Tesla. Constance doesn't know it yet but this could very well be the story of a lifetime. Riding aboard a mysterious streamliner known as the Century Unlimited, Miss Weathersbee now holds a one-way ticket to an incredible adventure, a time, place and event that will ultimately determine the fate of all humanity.
