Synopsis
Fifty million years in the future, fewer than three hundred humans survive by leaping forward through time using stasis-field "bobbles," having apparently missed a technological singularity that erased civilization. When one of their leaders is murdered, ex-detective Wil Brierson investigates a crime that threatens to fracture the last remnants of humanity and end the species forever.
