Beskrivelse
The debut science fiction thriller from multiple Aurealis and Ditmar Award nominee, Charlie Nash, "... high level action and suspense ... it is unputdownable!"
London, 1884. Time-traveler David Blakeney witnesses a brutal execution at Queen Victoria's hand, a warning to deliver on promises long-ago made. Promises he never could fulfil.
Now. In a war-scarred future England, has-been soldier Leo Fawkes receives a midnight call from his sister, Helen, a brilliant but reclusive physicist. What starts as a favour puts Leo in front of The Machine, an instrument of science ... and a deadly weapon.
For The Machine has created an alternate past, a Victorian age where Nikola Tesla is changing the world in England. It's a past that could undo the future wars, but it's not a reality, not yet. Because others have audacious plans to steal Tesla's secrets. As forces close both then and now, Tesla's war-ending work hangs in a balance of powerful plotters, railguns, deep secrets, and the inertia of all of history. Within the walls of his laboratory, a whole other history will stand or fall, and everything will change. Tonight.
