From ripper
These are as they came off the CD media I was sent from the U.S.,
though Audible's long "end part/begin part" notices were removed.
From Audible
For eons, Earth has been under observation by the Firstborn,
beings almost as old as the universe itself. The Firstborn are
unknown to humankind - until they act. In an instant, Earth is
carved up and reassembled like a huge jigsaw puzzle. Suddenly
the planet and every living thing on it no longer exist in a
single timeline. Instead, the world becomes a patchwork of eras,
from prehistory to 2037, each with its own indigenous
inhabitants.
Scattered across the planet are floating silver orbs impervious
to all weapons and impossible to communicate with. Are these
technologically advanced devices responsible for creating and
sustaining the rifts in time? Are they cameras through which
inscrutable alien eyes are watching? Or are they something
stranger and more terrifying still?The answer may lie in the
ancient city of Babylon, where two groups of refugees from 2037
- three cosmonauts returning to Earth from the International
Space Station, and three United Nations peacekeepers on a
mission in Afghanistan - have detected radio signals: the only
such signals on the planet, apart from their own.
The peacekeepers find allies in nineteenth-century British
troops and in the armies of Alexander the Great. The astronauts,
crash-landed in the steppes of Asia, join forces with the
Mongol horde led by Genghis Khan. The two sides set out for
Babylon, each determined to win the race for knowledge...and
the power that lies within.
Yet the real power is beyond human control, perhaps even human
understanding. As two great armies face off before the gates of
Babylon, it watches, waiting.
