      About This Book

      "One of the master illusionists of our time." —Wired
      "A head-spinning blast of blurred reality . . . jaw-dropping." —NPR
      "Completely fascinating." —San Francisco Book Review

      Set against "a kaleidoscopic backdrop of Earth's past, present, and future", this time-hopping science fiction novel is a moving meditation on "the resonance of history, memory, and love" (AV Club)

      In the near future, Tibor Tarent, a freelance photographer, is recalled from Anatolia to Britain when his wife, an aid worker, is killed—annihilated by a terrifying weapon that reduces its target to a triangular patch of scorched earth. 

      A century earlier, Tommy Trent, a stage magician, is sent to the Western Front on a secret mission to render British reconnaissance aircraft invisible to the enemy.

      Present day. A theoretical physicist develops a new method of diverting matter, a discovery with devastating consequences that will resonate through time.
