Playing with genetics can go horribly wrong.
Can Mercy save the future of humanity?
Mercy craves adventure, but she never expected it to come looking for her. Returning home from a miserable day at work, she finds a pair of eyes haunting her every move.
Is she mad, or is time itself the delusion?
Tancred Nine is from an apocalyptic future where genetic warfare is a reality; he knows he must risk everything to save himself and those he cares for. But he needs Mercy's help: If he can't make her believe him, he may cease to exist at all.
Will Mercy abandon the life she knows and take the risk for the love of a time traveller?
What readers are saying:
"It's about courage and hope in the face of impossible odds. It is, in a sense, a study of the human condition, both the good and the bad. While it is complicated (time travel always is, especially when the two characters do not always meet in sequence), it is far from boring. I was completely unable to put the book down once I reached the halfway point and actually ended up finishing it around 2:30 in the morning."
"This deftly avoided the cliche trap and nimbly danced around the future and the past, including some wonderfully descriptive visits to the Cretaceous, which had Palaeontologist, and dinosaur fossil hunter, Titus dancing on air."
"This was very well written, from the beginning I was pulled in by the "mysterious eyes", and I was excited to read this book."
"This isn't a fast-moving book, especially in the beginning, but it's not meant to be. It's meant to be read slowly and savoured, like a multi-course meal."
Genre: Science Fiction
