Mercury Station

It’s 2150. System Space has collapsed and most human civilization withit. Eddard Ryan and his fellow prisoners continue to suffer theremote-control domination of the Mercury Station Borstal and itscondescending central authority, the qompURE MERKUR? programmed totreat all prisoners as adolescents. When self-styled chrononaut CountReginald Skaw shows up off Mercury with an inter-station cruiser athis disposal, there’s suddenly the possibility of escape — into thepast. Ryan, an Irish Republican, has always fancied himself a skepticwhere time travel is concerned. But the girl of his dreams, Black RoseArmy confederate Koré McAllister, thinks otherwise. And when Korémysteriously disappears with Count Skaw, a little witch emerges out ofthe textual wilderness of fourteenth century Preussland to dispute thelegitimacy of history itself.
