About This Book

Temporal researchers examine alternate timelines and intervene in a distant past by instructing a stubborn ironmaster to forge anachronistic super-steel, producing a divergent history in which he defeats a monstrous deity's cult, rescues a noblewoman, and attains high rank. Multiple versions of investigators monitor tri-dimensional reconstructions and repeatedly replace or eliminate their counterparts to steer events away from an impending civilization-ending catastrophe. The narrative traces the moral and practical consequences of deliberate timeline manipulation as identities, loyalties, and causality fracture across competing time tracks.
