This page turning thriller takes place in two time periods and is packed with political corruption, greed, murder, and even an inter-century love affair. It was a finalist for the prestigious Montaigne Medal award for thought provoking literature. Time travel is central to the story, but its true genre is "political and religious literary fiction," rather than pure "science fiction." This is a fast moving mystery story about broken politics and the future of the Earth, a multi-century whodunnit with theological overtones. And for people who like literary puzzles there is an "Old Testament" Exodus allegory, with biblical clues to be found in some of the key character"s names.
