Time Travel has the potential to benefit all of mankind through a better understanding of our history. It also offers the risk of abuse at the hands of self-serving, ambitious demagogues, who could use it to dominate the world. China is in the hands of just such a demagogue, and he wants nothing more than to get control of time-travel technology to destroy the world we know today and send our ancestors on a path that would destroy everything we hold precious and sacred. Will Barrett and his supporters are all that stand between him and his world-changing ambitions. Barrett has been accused of abetting the transfer of the technology to the Chinese, and the evidence supports the accusation. Can he clear himself?
