. . . An astonishing and thoroughly satisfying installment. What's more, Baker's overall concept and rationale, flawlessly sustained through five books, grows ever more spellbinding and impressive." Kirkus Reviews
Baker's trademark mix of serious speculation and black humor informs this solid addition to her time-travel series. Publishers Weekly
The Company created immortals to preserve cultural artifacts, extinct animals, and lost treasures from the annals of human history for their enduring cultural value, and more importantly, for a profit. But what happens when an immortal despises the very people who created that which he is programmed to save?
Executive Facilitator General Labienus's career took off in ancient Sumeria, where he was worshiped as a god and learned contempt for his mortal worshippers. Since then, he's had time to contemplate how best to attain power within the Company for his own purposes.
From Labienus's subversion of the ADONAI black project to his machinations in San Francisco before the Great Quake, from chocolate wars in Amsterdam to a monastery in Ireland where the Fair Folk might just be a forgotten branch of the human race, Labienus's schemes thread through the Company's history, and as the immortals get closer to the Silence of 2355, the time to unravel them may be running out . . .
