Description
The Company, a powerful corporate entity in the twenty-fourth century, has discovered a nearly foolproof recipe for success: immortal employees and time travel. They specialize in retrieving extraordinary treasures out of the past, gathered by cybernetically-enhanced workers who pass as ordinary people. Or at least they try to pass...
There is one rule at Dr. Zeus Incorporated that must not be broken: recorded history cannot be changed. But avoiding the attention of mortals while stealing from them? It’s definitely not in the Company manual.
History awaits, though not quite the one you remember.

Advance Praise
Praise for The Company Series
“If there’s a better time-travel series out
there, go find it.”
—Kirkus, starred review
“Historical detail and fast-paced action
with a good dose of ironic wit and a dollop of bittersweet romance.”
—Library Journal
“Another entry...in Baker’s superlative
series about Dr. Zeus.... An astonishing and thoroughly satisfying installment.
What’s more, Baker’s overall concept and rationale, flawlessly sustained
through five books, grows ever more spellbinding and impressive.”
—Kirkus, starred review
“Listen closely, and perhaps you will hear
the collective sigh of delight from intelligent lovers of fantasy the world
over.”
—Booklist
