About This Book

A future society that has eradicated violence faces a ruthless criminal threatening to seize control, so councilors use a scientist's time-net to bring a hard-edged man from the past to deal with him. The outsider bargains for payment, studies the pacifist culture, conceals a twentieth-century firearm, and prepares to apply violent methods unfamiliar to his hosts. The narrative follows his infiltration and confrontation while exploring ethical tensions around importing violent solutions, the manipulation of individuals across eras, and the moral cost of preserving social order.
