Something has gone horribly wrong. An event has collapsed the CryoChronos power grid and nearly collapsed the Washington area grid. Additionally, two medical physicists have been found brutally executed and the top CryoChronos time research scientist has been found dead in his home. Picking up where Fred E. Doepke's first novel, Cold Time, left off, this is the story of the embattled Director of CryoChronos trying to balance the investigative pressure of federal and local authorities as he leads his own internal investigation into what happened on that historic day in 2079. It's the story of an aging government agent risking all for a shot at youth and immortality, a dying woman willing to sacrifice her sanity for one last, intimate encounter with her long deceased lover, a young woman struggling to free her father from 'cold time' incarceration, and a couple discovering the importance of family after more than a half century in cryopreservation. Will the Director be able to confirm his company has finally succeeded in sending someone to the past? The answer lies in this, the dramatic conclusion to the chronicle of the dawn of time travel.
