Description

It is tomorrow. The lines of time change ravage the earth. Where they pass, water and earth are transformed into past and future, wreaking havoc, destruction, and annihilation with never-before-experienced natural disasters. Mankind is all but extinguished, only a handful of survivors remain. Marc Despard is a man who will not—-cannot—-yield. Fury locks him into a private war with the universe as he finds himself committed to his own destruction as his only way to victory. He comes to a lonely discovery of self that teaches humbleness, wisdom and, finally, the courage to let himself be loved. The Girl is a victim of the Time Storm. She has been wounded so deeply that at first nothing will make her speak, but in the end, she chooses to send what is essentially herself beyond the limits of the universe, to bring Despard the understanding that will set him free. The leopard is untrained and deadly, the insane victim of Time gone mad—-who loves Despard and the Girl with an unjudging love that transcends space and time. Finally, he reaches out from beyond death itself to touch those two who mean more to his wild and savage soul than all that ever was or will be.
