You think you know how the world works? Think again. 21st Century America Magic has faded from the minds of mankind , until an encounter between Melisande Stokes, linguistics expert at Harvard, and Tristan Lyons, shadowy agent of government, leads to the uncovering of a distant past . After translating a series of ancient texts, Melisande and Tristan discover the connection between science, magic and time travel and so the Department of Diachronic Operations – D.O.D.O. – is hastily brought into existence. Its mission: to develop a device that will send their agents back to the past , where they can stop magic from disappearing and alter the course of history . But when you interfere with the past, there’s no telling what you might find in your future… Written with genius and complexity , this vividly realised novel will make you believe the impossible , and question the very foundations of the modern world.
