Aurora Prize finalist (Canada). A novel by a Canadian virologist-geneticist about post-humanity, interstellar wars and sophisticated crimes! The distant world of supermen - “homo quantum”! The continuation of “The Quantum Wizard”! A few days ago, Belisarius pulled off the most daring scam in history. He is rich, has found the love of his life, and has the most valuable thing in the Universe - the Gate of Time. Nothing can spoil the celebration... except the total genocide of his species and the destruction of his home planet. To save them, he must make a new deal with the boss he just deceived, travel back in time and use his quantum magic again. If Belisarius is not discovered, if he avoids time paradoxes and outruns the creepy, ruthless creature codenamed "Scarecrow", then he can return to his time unharmed.
