"In this thriller, nobody knows why there are only three hundred humans left alive on the Earth fifty million years from now. Opinion is fiercely divided on whether to settle in and plant the seed of mankind anew, or to continue using high-energy stasis fields, or "bobbles," in venturing into the future. When somebody is murdered, it's obvious that someone has a secret and is willing to kill to preserve it. The murder intensifies the rift between the two factions, threatening the survival of the human race. It's up to twenty-first-century detective Wil Brierson, the only cop left in the world, to find the culprit, a diabolical fiend whose lust for power could cause the utter extinction of man."--BOOK JACKET.
