Sinopsis

He was a philosopher, a mathematician, an astronomer, an alchemist, and (reputedly) a necromancer. An adviser to royalty, he cast a towering shadow across all of Renaissance Europe. And though Dr. John Dee was all of five feet tall, he was truly a man ahead of his time. Now Armin Shimerman -- best known as Quark on the wildly popular television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine "RM" -- and renowned fantasy author Michael Scott have taken the stuff of Dee's life and woven it into a truly unique and compelling novel. The Roc, an ancient and wise alien race, have been observing humans for centuries. In sixteenth-century England, one of their number, who has taken the name Dyckon, befriends Dee. When the doctor is unfairly imprisoned, Dyckon decides to rescue his friend by placing him in suspended animation. Dee awakens in the world of 2099, a future where scientists are preparing to unleash the ultimate weapon -- a device that will mean the destruction of the human race. And it seems that the only thing that can prevent Armageddon in the future is a genius from the past...
