Joseph Bridgeman is now a fully-fledged member of the Continuum, a group of time travelers that heal the past to protect the future. When an antique focus object is stolen, he jumps at the chance to retrieve it. But what should have been a simple auction turns into a dangerous new mission deep in the past.
Alone and unprepared, Joe must not only complete the mission, but also investigate a secretive organization known as Extempero. Who are they? And why are they deliberately squandering focus objects? Somehow, all of this connects back to saving Amy, his own salvation in London, and his experiences in Paris.
With help from an old ally, Joe triggers a rare and unique type of mission and is flung into the past yet again. Caught up in a shocking natural disaster, he is faced with a terrible choice, a decision that will have far-reaching consequences for the Continuum, and a delicate future that hangs in the balance.
