It has been three centuries since Mendoza lost the man she loved: three centuries of lonely, unremitting toil as a field botanist for her 24th-century masters. But at the company post in the Cahuenga Pass on the road to the frontier settlement called Los Angeles, Mendoza is experiencing something new: disturbing dreams of her beloved Nicholas Harpole.
She is not the only one to feel troubled. One of her immortal colleagues has family trouble; another, an almost comical obsession with selling a brassbound pie safe. And all of them have brushes with the ghosts of the future that haunt the canyons of Hollywood, not just on film but in eerie reality.
But then Nicholas Harpole's ghost is unexpectedly reincarnated in a very large, very suave and very handsome British spy called Edward Alton Bell-Fairfax. For Mendoza it is either a dream come true, or the worst thing that could possibly have happened to her. Again.
