"Jordan Delvaney!" The call to action: somewhere a disaster, a cataclysmic monkeywrench smashed into the delicate re-creation of reality that was the twenty-ninth century form of leisure activity. Someone had twisted one of the carefully arranged Plots that were the set-pieces known as The Frames. But this time, correcting the chaos of riot and murder that could result from such deviations was only the beginning of Del's troubles. This time, cause and effect led inevitably to an ancient intergalactic ship, to the eerie plunge into hyperspace in search of a chunk of writhing time somehow poised in thermodynamic equilibrium in its own strange universe - this time he had to find Time itself.

[There are 2 sequels or other parts of a series: Timepivot and Timepit - only the first of these had American publication.]
