Join Little Feather on his quest!

I’m excited to announce that my new novel, Operation Reboot, will be released on September 12, 2025! This sci-fi time-travel, alternate history adventure asks bold questions about our past, our present, and the future of humanity.

In Operation Reboot, survivors from an apocalyptic future travel back to the year 1604, arriving in the homeland of the Mohawk Nation. Their mission: to help the Mohawk and neighboring tribes resist European colonization and rewrite history by creating a new timeline.

Original, deftly crafted, clever, riveting, and a simply fascinating blend of time travel science fiction, action/adventure, and a ‘what if’ alternative history theme, “Operation Reboot” is a fun and intriguing read from cover to cover. Author and storyteller James Hallenbeck demonstrates a genuine flair of the kind of narrative driven style that readers will find unique and compelling from start to finish.

“Operation Reboot” from Cold Mountain Publishing is especially and unreservedly recommended for community library Science Fiction collections and the personal reading lists of dedicated science fiction fans in general and ‘what if’ alternate history fans in particular.

Midwest Review

The story explores fascinating “what ifs”:

  • What if the Indigenous peoples of the Americas had been able to resist European aggression?
  • Could humanity have avoided the apocalypse?
  • What might a world shaped by Indigenous culture and advanced technology look like?

At the heart of the story is Little Feather, a Mohawk youth who has endured the brutality of intertribal conflict since childhood. As the visitors share their advanced tools and ideas, Little Feather sees the possibility of a different path forward. But while some Mohawk leaders welcome the outsiders, others fear that their “gifts” may destroy their traditions and way of life.

Operation Reboot is a fast-paced, thought-provoking novel that blends time travel, Indigenous history, and speculative science fiction. Will the visitors’ technology empower the Mohawk to build a stronger society—or corrupt them and lead to an even darker future?

Available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Kobo.
