Jack Sigler, Callsign: King, has been a lot of things in his life. A soldier, a father, a hero. But now he’s taking up a new title: guardian. After a life fighting billionaire madmen, terrorists and unnatural threats, he’s stuck thousands of years in the past, using his knowledge of history and modern warfare to right wrongs and stand up for those in need. When he meets a twelve year old boy—the prince of the Babylonian Empire—who is to be sacrificed to the ancient goddess, Tiamat, by a twisted High Priest, King steps in, sword swinging. But what starts as a simple snatch and grab, quickly turns into a pitched battle against a legion of men and hideous creatures. As Tiamat rises from her ancient resting place, the fate of the world—and King’s future—is at stake. Trapped millennia in the past and gifted with regenerative abilities, King must live out the centuries until he returns to his own time and his family. The Jack Sigler Continuum series tells the events that occurred in King’s life as a result of the full-length novel, Omega, but no prior reading is required to enjoy the Continuum series. Each story will be a standalone adventure, and a great jumping-on point. For more of King’s adventures, check out the entire Jack Sigler/Chess Team series.

First, let me say this: READ OMEGA by Jeremy and Kane Gilmour FIRST. This book, by necessity, has several major spoilers to that book.
Now, if you don't mind spoilers and simply want a GREAT introduction to one of the best single characters in modern fiction, pick up GUARDIAN even if you haven't read any other CHESS TEAM book.
In GUARDIAN, we see King being just that - a GUARDIAN - to Nebuchadnezzar's grandson (yes, that Nebuchadnezzar - as in, Daniel and the Lion's Den. Writing on the wall, etc etc etc). Now, if you're wondering how a modern super-Delta soldier is somehow in the time of an old Nebuchadnezzar... READ OMEGA!
Great twist on the monster tale, having a modern soldier go back in time to battle ancient monsters... and make some interesting discoveries along the way. Great introduction to who King is - leader, soldier, guardian, tactician, etc etc etc.
Looking forward to the next in the Continuum Series! :D
