En él, una historiadora de la Universidad de Oxford que vive en el año 2054 decide viajar a la Inglaterra de 1320, pero una extraña crisis que vincula pasado y futuro altera sus planes. Al mismo tiempo, una epidemia especialmente virulenta se extiende en la Inglaterra de mediados del siglo XXI. ¿Acaso los viajeros del tiempo han infectado su propio mundo? La protagonista, en el pasado, y sus colegas, en el futuro, se enfrentarán a patógenos asesinos en una obra maestra que explora cómo responde el ser humano ante el sufrimiento generado por una catástrofe desconocida.
