In the mid-21st Century, a top-secret consortium of corporations and
governments have made time travel possible, only to realize that intruding
on the past has been a terrible mistake.
At the program’s outset, a thousand scientists, engineers and support
staff were confined to a subterranean complex where a corporate contributor
specializing in artificial intelligence equipped apartments with Happy Home
Companion software.
Time traveler Marta Hamilton had little enough tolerance for other people
intruding in her life, much less a software Dear Abby, so Marta bullies her
Happy Home Companion into silence.
At last convinced of the grave dangers time travel represents, government
overseers suspend operations. Only the Happy Home Companions remain.
Marta and fellow traveler Marshall Grissom hope they can finally leave the
past behind, but when a federal judge is murdered, they understand their
vulnerability to horrible manipulations by future counterparts.
Marta and Marshall return to the Arizona desert where they confront a Happy
Home Companion cult of vengeance, the outlaw Gillis Kerg, and an evangelical
zealot waging a war on science.
