Two present-day investigators race across time to escape malevolent
aliens from the future and their terrible "gift" of immortality in this
science fiction classic.
What is the price of eternal life? Secret agent Jay Corcoran is about to
learn the answer when his investigation into an inexplicable
disappearance carries him and journalist friend Tom Boone hundreds of
years into the past. Corcoran and Boone's powerful extrasensory
abilities lead them to an advanced transportation system through time
and back to the bucolic 18th-century English countryside. There, they
discover a family from the distant future that is hiding from the
Immortals - an alien race that, many centuries on, is seducing human
subjects with the promise of immortality. But the cost of life eternal
is the corporeal self, and there is no place in the aliens' future for
anyone unwilling to exist as mind alone.
Now that the Evans family's sanctuary has been breached, escape is the
only answer - for Tom Boone and Jay Corcoran as well - and the only way
out is forward...far forward. But racing through space and time can be a
hazardous occupation, especially with monstrous beasts, killer robots,
and Immortal body destroyers waiting at every juncture.
