At every crossroads he has encountered in life, Sean Brody has made the
safe choice. In the year 2046, at the age of ninety-three, Sean is given
one final opportunity to deal with his greatest regret. Sean is the only
man Marshall Grissom and Marta Hamilton can find who might be able to save
Sheila Schuler, their friend and fellow traveler lost in the distant
reaches of time. If Sean accepts the task of traveling to his childhood in
a parallel universe—with no guarantee that any aspect of the past can be
changed—Sean must also accept his death in the only world he knows.
