Godfrey Justin Holmes is a man out of time running from his past. Two trips to two worlds had broken the bond with his times. But a hundred years of travel do not bring a century of forgetfulness-not when you cheat time with the petite mort of the cold sleep. Time's vengeance is memory, and though for an age you plunder the eye of seeing and empty the ear of sound, when you awaken your past is still with you. He had started running because of a girl buried on another world.
Almost 600 years later Holmes is a Hell Cop on Tierra del Cygnus. It's his job to protect the people of Betty (short for Beta Station) from the hostilities of their colony world. The mother of all city wrecking storm is headed right towards his adopted home and it's up to him to do what ever he can to mitigate the coming disaster. Both the storm and his past come crashing down on him making his task almost impossible.
