In 1999, an elite interdisciplinary team headed by Nobel laureate Andrew Danicek gathered in California to carry out a ground-breaking time-travel experiment. While the rest of the world remained unaware, Julius Caesar was successfully transported from the last day of his life to a specially-constructed covert facility. Four days of conversation with historians and Latin scholars were planned, followed by Caesar's return to the moment from which he was extracted. But despite the team's meticulous efforts to maintain secrecy and plan for all possible exigencies, a kidnap attempt plunges Caesar into peril. Fully aware that the future of civilization may hang in the balance, one team member must summon strength she didn't know she possessed to return Caesar to the Ides of March.
The shocking details of Caesar's visit and its effect on subsequent events have been protected by draconian nondisclosure agreements....until now.

Picture a beautiful young woman racing down the freeway in a classic red Corvette with a distrustful Julius Caesar riding shotgun. This moment highlights the appeal of Edwards' A Coin for the Ferryman. Framed as the delayed release of details about a hidden time-travel project in the 1990s, the story is a wild ride from start to finish. The technical premise is explained solely via metaphor, so the science is never bogged down in details or provably inaccurate. It begins with a driven, egotistical Nobel-winning physicist gathering a team to accomplish the most audacious kidnapping in history--pull Caesar forward in time on the day of his murder and return him to the same moment after several days of conversation and study. The plan goes awry from the start owing to unpredictable human nature. Jealousy, fear, greed, and betrayal combine to make the imperial visit from a calculating yet compelling Caesar a veritable soap opera of emotion. A great romp for anyone who's discussed which historical figures they would invite to a dinner party.COPYRIGHT(2022) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
