  • "For Kivrin, preparing for on-site study of one of the deadliest eras in humanity's history was as simple as receiving inoculations against the diseases of the fourteenth century and inventing an alibi for a woman traveling alone. For her instructors in the twenty-first century, it meant painstaking calculations and careful monitoring of the rendezvous location where Kirvin would be retrieved. But a crisis strangely linking past and future strands Kivrin in a bygone age as her fellows try desperately to rescue her. In a time of superstition and fear, Kivrin-barely of age herself-finds she has become an unlikely angel of hope during one of history's darkest hours."@en

  • ""Quoi de plus naturel, au XXIe siècle, que d'utiliser des transmetteurs temporels pour envoyer des historiens vérifier sur place l'idée qu'ils se font du passé ? Kivrin Engle, elle, a choisi l'an 1320, afin d'étudier les us et coutumes de cette époque fascinante qu'aucun de ses contemporains n'a encore visitée : le Moyen Âge. Le grand jour est arrivé, tous sont venus assister au départ : Gilchrist, le directeur d'études de Kivrin ; l'archéologue Lupe Montoya ; le docteur Ahrens ; sans oublier ce bon professeur Dunworthy, qui la trouve trop jeune et inexpérimentée pour se lancer dans pareille aventure et qui s'inquiète tant pour elle. Ses craintes sont ridicules, le professeur Gilchrist a tout prévu ! Tout, mais pour le pire..." [Source : 4e de couv.]."
