About the book
Humanity has achieved a stable, comfortable peace, but civilization needs a pressure valve and a way to remember the disorder of the past. Its solution is the Game, in which intellectual athletes called Olympians enter historical moments and assume the roles of people both famous and ordinary.
Ordovician is a mid-tier Olympian climbing the rankings when he finds something in history that should not be there. The discovery tests his faith in the Game, the Present, and the supposedly balanced world both were built to protect.
