The year is 2019, and celebrated biographer Stephen Glass has just received a phone call. He is given the chance to interview the reclusive Aaron Rhodes, the world's most important scientist since Einstein. The ailing scientist has invented a device that has allowed him to travel through time and space for the past twenty years. He considers it to be his greatest contribution to mankind, and he wants Stephen to help him introduce it to the world. To satisfy his skepticism about the device, Stephen agrees to a jaunt through time, to November 19, 1863, to witness President Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. But when the president fails to deliver his address, Stephen returns to find his country and his emotions divided. Now Stephen must return to Civil War Gettysburg with his promise to preserve the past. What he learns will entangle him in the truth about history and the reality of time...and timelessness.
