n the 24th century, the Company preserves works of art and extinct forms of life (for profit of course). It recruits orphans from the past, renders them all but immortal, and trains them to serve the Company, Dr. Zeus. One of these is Mendoza the botanist. She is sent to Elizabethan England to collect samples from the garden of Sir Walter Iden. But while there, she meets Nicholas Harpole, with whom she falls in love. And that love sounds great bells of change that will echo down the centuries, and through the succeeding novels of The Company.

Good book, wrong time for me to read it

This was recommended to me years ago as something I'd love. A female protagonist involved in timey-wimey shenanigans mainly around in Tudor times? Made for me. If I'd read it back then I'd have loved it. Now it fizzled out as a merely OK read. The writing is fine, and I didn't dislike it, but the subtleties of the plot whizzed past me and though I know there is a compelling read lurking inside this book, I just couldn't seem to access it. Liked it enough to read the rest of the series at a later date when in a more compatible headspace.
