Sequel to 'Time Future'.
Return to McArthur's richly realised universe in this riveting new tale of cataclysmic events and temporal anarchy.
The deep space station Jocasta awaits the result of a historic vote to win freedom from the Confederacy. But the reluctant instigator of the secessionist movement, Commander Halley, vanishes when an experiment with a captured jump drive leaves her trapped in Earth's past. As she desperately tries to find a way back to her present, Halley uncovers an alien conspiracy that threatens history itself.
Her only hope of return is to contact the very aliens who devised the time travel - if she can survive long enough in the past. While an interstellar siege once kept Halley trapped aboard Jocasta, now far more powerful forces conspire against her ever returning alive.
