SummaryIn a parallel-world 21st-century San Francisco where the
Kaiser's Germany won World War One and went on to dominate
the world, Paul Gomes and his father Lawrence are secret
agents for our timeline, posing as traders from a foreign
land. They run a storefront shop called Curious Notions,
selling what is in our world routine consumer technology-
record players, radios, cassette decks--all of which is
better than anything in this world, but only by a bit.
Their real job is to obtain raw materials for our timeline.
Just as importantly, they must guard the secret of
Crosstime Traffic--for of the millions of parallel
timelines, this is one of the few advanced enough to use
that secret against us.
Now, however, the German occupation police are harrassing
them. They want to know where they're getting their
mysterious goods. Under pressure, Paul and Lawrence hint
that their supplies comes from San Francisco's
Chinese...setting in motion a chain of intrigues that will
put the entire enterprise of Crosstime Traffic at deadly
risk.
