"When Bernice Summerfield visits the People \u2014 an incredibly advanced civilisation living in a Dyson Sphere \u2014 she discovers that even in utopia, they still have their problems. An illegal time travel experiment threatens a war which could destroy them all. Rather than risk it, the People and their ultra-powerful computer, God, are prepared to eradicate the source of the problem \u2014 the ancient city of Babylon. But such action would involve the death of a quarter of a million human beings, and do incalculable damage to Earth's history. Babylon \u2014 and the human race \u2014 have one hope. Benny returns to the cradle of civilisation to try and stop the interference. She has just one week to prevent a catastrophe that could mean she will never be born. Her only assistance comes from a Victorian linguist who has stumbled across the experiment himself. But he's no help at all \u2014 even though he has a power neither of them suspects."@en .
