In 1968, a terrible tragedy—
In 2018, a secret government agency—
One slim chance to travel back in time—
One terrifying week to change the past.
“A gripping, intimate story, profoundly human and relentlessly surprising.”
—Felicity Jennings
In 1968, Charlotte Vance was one of the few women employed by the National Security Agency in Washington, D.C. She put in long hours and was working when a fire started in her home. Her daughters and husband were killed. For fifty years, she has felt responsible for their deaths.
In 2018, when a former colleague from the NSA mentions a top secret government agency that is experimenting with time travel, she decides to apply.
She discovers that TEMPUS has many secrets. The scientists are mind-bendingly strange and brilliant. She must endure grueling physical, emotional and psychological tests. She fears her age and weak heart might disqualify her.
After a difficult time travel journey, Charlotte learns a shocking truth: TEMPUS has hidden motives for sending her. She struggles to change the tragedy of her personal past while also struggling to stop TEMPUS from violently altering history.
