In the year that Mount Vesuvius destroyed Pompeii, the Roman Centurion Vitellan set off for the twenty-first century as Imperial Rome's last human-powered time machine. He killed an unfaithful lover by just letting her grow old, but her hate pursued him across seven centuries. In 1358 he stood with a few dozen knights against an army of nine thousand to defend the life of a beautiful countess . . .and earned a love that would conquer death.
Now Vitellan has awakened in the twenty-first century, a bewildered fugitive, betrayed and hunted in the world where minds and bodies are swapped and memories are brought, sold and read like books. But worst of all, a deadly enemy from the fourteenth century is still very much alive - and closing in.
