Book 3 in series

A Civil War between the Air Force and Navy. But it isn't what it seems. The Air Force, with ridiculous technology and supplies, is wiping out the entire population of the Earth, and while SYLO is fighting a losing battle to try to save the Earth. Meanwhile, Tucker and his friends are captured by the Air Force while trying to get at a "Gate to Hell" in a desert military camp. There, they are degraded and labeled "primitive" along with many other prisoners. One day, a SYLO attack gives them the chance to see what the Gate to Hell truly is. They find a portal through time. But it isn't a true portal because of the "you can't change the past and there is a new timestream and blah blah blah". The portal goes 300 years in the future, and was created by an atomic blast inside the dome which caused stuff to move faster than the speed of light. However, the future they find has been decimated by climate change.
The inhabitants of the future blame the people of the past for this, and have decided to take over the past by annihilating its population, putting the Air Force, with its ridiculous tech, in charge. But, a secret group called the Sounders is trying to prevent this. With 6 hours until the final invasion, the future and past work together to destroy the portal and reverse the tide. Tucker gets SYLO to help, and together, they do it. But, they are trapped in the dome as the bomb that should destroy the portal goes off. Somehow, they are reversed in time to the 1900s, when the first bomb tests were happening. This was when the portal was created(Hence Area 51). Now that they have seen the devastation of climate change first hand, they work to stop it.
