Zero margin for error. In California, 1921: Stranded more than thirty years into his future, time traveler Henry has joined forces with adventuress Alma Karlin. They must make their way to another continent if Henry is to return to his own era, as Alma continues her quest to keep the world safe from the Urumi, and the Society's plans to control time itself. Then, a message from Henry's long-dead parents reveals his true identity and urges him to pursue a different, more dangerous mission.
