Jason Thanou of the Temporal Regulatory Authority had about
had it with nursemaiding parties of ivory-tower academics
through Earth’s blood-drenched history, keeping them alive
as they sought evidence for their pet theories. Of course,
when one of the ivory-tower academics looked like Doctor
Deirdre Sadaka-Ramirez, one last expedition didn’t look
like such a bad idea after all.. . .
Besides, there was something to be said for witnessing the
Santorini explosion of 1628 B.C.—the most cataclysmic
natural disaster of human history, and the source of much
of the mythology of Jason’s own Greek ancestors. But once
Jason and his companions were in the Aegean Bronze Age,
unable to return to their own twenty-fourth-century time
until a predetermined instant, they would find that there
was more to those old legends of gods and heroes than
anyone had imagined. For the gods were very real—horribly
so. And dealing with them took very real heroes.
