Just as Morton Sneadsted begins to experience a strange phenomenon he deems as a “Temporal Tilt-a-Whirl” – seeing time speed up to see the beginning or the end of a person’s time on this planet – he is visited by a time traveling General George S. Patton and told about playing his part in the survival of the human species after an impending apocalypse. All he has to do is dig a bunker and kidnap a random list of people to help populate the world after the dust settles. Morton just needs to figure out if he’s got the right stuff.
