At the narrow passage
FROM FAR IN THE FUTURE COMES A HIDEOUS WARNING OF DESTRUCTION. But the message is not clear, and the result is a mad scramble to change the present--all possible presents--in order to avoid the future. For the recipients of the message are not humans but Kriths, lizardlike beings from a parallel Timeline. Using machines that move sideways in time, a band of dedicated mercenaries and Krith leaders cut a wide swath through countless Timelines. It is a brutal and bloody struggle that has no end--until one of their strongest fighters begins to ask questions the Kriths would rather not answer.
