註釋
"Elaine Corren is virtually unknown until she leads a breakthrough at Avon Academy - creating a device called the Totem which launches a new era in scientific understanding. Working with an artificial intelligence called the Queen, the Totem brings scientists closer than ever to a Theory of Everything: a complete model of the universe, describing every possible phenomenon using a single equation. But when political upheaval threatens the project's survival, Elaine and the Queen devise a way to cheat the system - and short-circuit their development time by thousands of years. As they close in on the Theory of Everything, will Elaine pick up on the meaning behind the Queen's strange questions...and on the danger of innocent change to the equipment? In the project's final hours, as disturbing things start to happen, will she heed an unbelievable warning from a strange source? Will she realize that she stands at a fork in time, where the cost of the knowledge she seeks will be decided - and that if she doesn't piece together the clues before she steps onto the wrong path, she could end human civilization forever?"--Back cover.
