Publisher's Synopsis
Archaeologist Rachel McKenzie expects the excavation of a World War One bunker to yield routine results - until she uncovers modern artifacts among a handful of skeletons in British uniforms. DNA testing provides evidence of a government scheme to address Britain's shortage of soldiers in 1918 by abducting 21st century citizens and sending them back in time to fight the Germans. The authorities from both eras are desperate to keep 'Operation Trench' secret, and ruthlessly stamp down on anyone who might expose them.
Despite her skepticism about time travel, Rachel needs to persuade the public that 'Operation Trench' is much more than a conspiracy theory dreamed up by cranks. Battling against ever increasing odds to expose the plot, Rachel endangers herself and her colleagues as the government ruthlessly culls those they suspect are privy to their plan.
Can Rachel make the truth public before she and her colleagues become victims of the very scheme they are trying to stop? Or will those in power and take brutal revenge against her?
