Synopsis

"Verity Auger is a specialist in the archaeological exploration of Earth, rendered uninhabitable after the technological catastrophe known as the Nanocaust. After a field-trip goes badly wrong, Verity is forced to redeem herself by participating in a dangerous mission, for which her expertise is invaluable." "Using a back door into an unstable alien transit system, Auger's faction has discovered something astonishing at the far end of a wormhole: mid-twentieth century Earth, preserved like a fly in amber. Is it a window into the past, a simulation, or something else entirely?" "Auger's task - apart from probing the nature of this alternate world - is to recover the lost property of a murdered agent before it falls into the wrong hands. But the dead agent had stumbled onto something that could change not only Auger's present, but Earth's past as well." "With time running out, Auger retraces the dead agent's footsteps across a Europe that isn't quite the one in the history books. Shadowed by forces that would rather see her dead, the last thing she needs is the attention of a struggling private detective trying to close one last case."--BOOK JACKET.
