In a climate
of unease and mistrust, the great time-travelling powers of the universe
are holding an historic temporal summit. The meeting will take place on
a planetoid impervious to outside attack or internal subversion in any
way.
But while President Romana walks a knife-sharp political tightrope into
dangerous territory, Leela and K9 find themselves attending the summit
in unexpected roles. They are hunting for evidence of Free Time
activity, but find instead terrors of a different kind time and time
again.
What impossibilty stalks the planetoid? Who is manipulating time? Can
Leela and Romana discover the truth or will they find themselves sent
back to square one for all eternity?
