Betty's knowledge has become a liability. She just simply wants a last skiing holiday, and then to die... peacefully, escaping her genetic illness - she understands that her time has come. But malign agents want her secret knowledge about the i-vector technology, and they have sophisticated plans to abduct her. In response, her colleagues have made a timeline change, tipping the balance back in Betty's favour; even though she, and they, cannot be aware of that in this altered timeline. But, in practice, attempts to change the timeline do not always deliver clear, clean results. And does Time, or the natural course of events, have an inertia of its own, resisting changes and trying to revert to the status quo of events? A tortuous journey, set in the present-day, beginning in a ski resort... This second book in the i-vector series, picks up the story following the timeline change made at the end of Book #1 "Schrödinger's Dog", or it can be enjoyed as a standalone Sci-Fi adventure read.
