Comet Anduru skimmed the clouds of Saturn. Rather than being drawn into the gas giant, it skipped back out into space. With the comet heading for Jupiter, speculation is mounting it’s an alien spacecraft making its way to Earth. Lieutenant Colonel Nolan Landis and Dr. Kath McKenzie are caught between an angry public and an anxious President as they grapple with the scientific, social, and political implications of first contact.

The greatest scientific challenge of our age wasn't to enable time travel, it was to prevent it. The laws of physics had turned out to be idiotic, erecting no barriers to hopping time. In fact, they make it hard to avoid. I'm in the business of preserving the timeline - making sure the world sticks to the sacred rule of One Second per Second, and that history unfolds according to plan. The problem is, there is no plan until I make it.

Doch dann schickt ihr Chef sie zum Fundort eines realen Artefakts, das ihren Theorien entsprungen sein könnte - oder der Technologie einer außerirdischen Zivilisation. 30 Jahre zuvor. Physiker Max will nichts geringeres, als Einstein zu verbessern. Seine neueste Theorie scheint fehlerfrei - allerdings sagt sie das Ende der Menschheit voraus. Verhindern ließe sich die Auslöschung der Erde nur, wenn Max ein vieldimensionales Objekt fände.
