The future will be perfect. No hate, no hunger, no war. Zed knows because he's seen it. He's from there. His mission is to ensure that history happens exactly as it's meant to. Even the terrible events. Even the one that's about to happen, the one that will destroy our civilisation for good.
'Compelling...What really makes it work...are four very different and well-drawn characters. Via their differing perspectives on events, the novel is able to explore notions of government and ideology.' -- Eddie Robson, SFX 'An outstanding dystopic novel' -- Library Journal 'Imaginative, elegant work...What transpires in the final act is as powerful for its well-paced revelations as it is for the ethical questions it raises.' -- LA Magazine 'A devious and absorbing novel that challenges the reader at every turn, not letting up until the final pages. I loved it.' -- Olen Steinhauer 'Mullen explores the ethical implications of time travel in this excellent thriller...a one-sitting read' -- Publishers Weekly starred review 'Sharp as razors, savage and immense in its power and weird beauty.' -- Warren Ellis.
