About This Book

A boy named Martin is taken from his rough neighborhood when a young woman called Ninian arrives claiming to be a future descendant charged with protecting him from a relative who intends to kill him as part of a radical plan. He is moved into comfortable surroundings and guarded by a succession of oddly detached future kin whose life of leisure and mechanized ease contrasts with his past; their kindness is efficient but impersonal. Isolated and observant, Martin grows into a quiet youth as tensions around the hinted ideological conflict crystallize and relatives explain that the threat stems from a dissident family member's scheme.
