À propos de cet audio

 After discovering an old photograph, an elderly antiques dealer living in present-day Los Angeles is forced to revisit the history he has struggled to deny. The photograph depicts a man and a woman. The man is Peter Force, a young frontier adventurer who comes to New York City in 1901 and quickly lands a job digging the first subway tunnels beneath the metropolis. The woman is Cheri-Anne Toledo, a beautiful mathematical prodigy whose memories appear to come from another world. They meet seemingly by chance, and Peter initially dismisses her as crazy. But as they are drawn into a tangle of overlapping intrigues, Peter must reexamine Cheri-Anne's fantastic story. Could it be that she is telling the truth and that she has stumbled onto the most dangerous secret imaginable: the key to traveling through time? Set against the mazelike streets of New York at the dawn of the mechanical age, Peter and Cheri-Anne find themselves wrestling with the nature of history, technology, and the unfolding of time itself.©2010 Matthew Flaming (P)2009 Tantor Fantastique Fiction Fiction de genre Fiction littéraire Histoire alternative Historique Science-fiction New York Romance

Ce que les critiques en disent

"The journey through the seedier side of New York's Gilded Age...is an arresting contrast to classic time-travel themes. This is a real crowd-pleaser." (Publishers Weekly)
