The Cusanus game / Wolfgang Jeschke. First Edition. 540 pages ; 25 cm "Biologist Domenica Ligrina fears her planet is dying. She might be right. An atomic disaster in Germany has contaminated Northern Europe with radioactivity. Economic and political calamities are destroying the whole planet. Human DNA is mutating, plant species are going extinct, and scientists are feverishly working on possible solutions. It becomes increasingly apparent that the key to future salvation lies in the past. In 2052 a secret research facility in the Vatican is recruiting scientists for a mission to restore the flora of the irradiated territories. The institute claims to have time travel. When Domenica's sometime-lover tells her that he knows her future but that she must decide her own fate, she enlists despite his ambiguous warning. The Middle Ages hold Domenica spellbound. She immerses herself in the mysteries, puzzles, and peculiarities of a culture foreign to her, though she risks changing the past with effects far more disastrous than radiation poisoning. Perhaps there is more than one Domenica, and more than one catastrophe"-- FICTION / Science Fiction / General. bisacsh Science fiction. gsafd Cover image http://www.netread.com/jcusers2/bk1388/081/9780765319081/image/lgcover.9780765319081.jpg 7 cbc orignew 1 ecip 20 y-gencatlg lcc BK 27664 27664 0 0 lcc 0 0 FIC PUEA PUEA GEN 2014-12-10 Books For Africa 4800.00 0 PT 2670 .E75 C87 2013 2014-7837 2015-08-01 00:00:00 c1 2014-12-10 BK
