She's got a doctorate and nothing to lose. He's got a time machine and a hot wife. Which is deadlier, love or science? In a caustically funny, post-modern Gothic, Dr. Fraçois Gagnon offers Eddy Courant a postdoc position studying time loops. The chance to revive her stalling research career pulls Eddy from a deep depression. She loses herself to the thrill of science, and to the simpler pleasures in life – like flirting with her boss and seducing his wife. Until the men funding the research demand more ground-breaking data to justify keeping her on board – after all, they have a war to start. Eddy is plunged into ever darker and more violent acts to appease the funders. So long as she's employed, she doesn't have to face the consequences of replaying countless deaths – including her own. But keeping track of shifting timelines while her own mental state deteriorates means losing the ability to tell real life from its shadow. Can Eddy find loves, stop the arms dealer, and save her sanity – or even one out of three?
