The Revolutions of Time 

Like a year on earth time flows in a circular motion, repeating itself in 'seasons’. Each one with the same general events. Because of this, the geological record shows not the immediate past, but the events of the last 'season’ or age, making the fossils and formations show what will happen rather than what has happened. Jehu is transported to the end of his age by the mysterious Lord of the Past, and finds himself caught in the middle of a society at war over how to divert the Big Bang that their science foretells. What follows is, as they say, history.
