A stone-age man carrying a copper axe flees from a band of attackers; his frozen body is discovered 5,000 years later in the Italian Alps. A brilliant physicist develops a way to use wormholes in folded space to go back in time; his prototype, in its testing phase, is co-opted by the U.S. military. A couple of astronauts vanish in a mysterious accident and are pronounced dead by U.S. authorities; their remains are never found. From these threads, author Jared E. Florance spins a spellbinding tale of adventure and romance that takes us from the era of space travel to a small settlement that existed five thousand years ago. At the center of the tale is Angela, the daughter of the missing astronauts. Convinced that her parents are still alive, Angela sets out on a quest to find them and bring them home.
