Continuum

the long version

"Historian David Marcus spent his entire life studying one single day. In 2010, the prime minister of Israel was assassinated in what was dubbed the 'Longest Day in History.' The events that followed were linear, ominous and unstoppable. Never before has the 'new interconnected world' participated in such a global crisis watching. The world simply watched online as nuclear weapons dropped. 2068. One astrophysicist had the theory that a small ship passing close enough to the Singularity could be catapulted back in time. The risk was low--one ship and seven crew members, mostly military special-ops soldiers from the war--and the rewards were great. David Marcus must now be the historian that changes history."--Page 4 of cover.
