About This Book

A time agent investigates a conspiracy in which future operatives manipulate historical events to bring tyrants to power, focusing on the pivotal year 1955. After his partner is mortally attacked, he follows clues through crowded temporal tourist hubs and confronts deception, opportunistic media figures, and assassination attempts, racing to decode a partially recorded thinkwriter spool and identify the organization behind planned ascensions. The narrative examines the mechanics of time travel, the ethical hazards of altering history, and the personal cost to agents who must keep secrets while pursuing those who treat centuries as a playground.
