2214. Army Captain in the Field of Frederick Alexander, Wang is participating in his second Time-Dimension Games.
Not only has he been called up to take part in a reconstitution of the Boer War, the young Chinese boy finds himself involved in quite a different combat. Not merely a pawn in the power struggle between English and French, he is also the master card of the "hives", a clandestine network which is also trying to break free of the occidental yoke. Wang has become a marked man.
Is he really the seed of chaos planted in Occidental earth by an old gardener called Grandma Li? How can one be a rebel in a world where immigrants can be "switched off " like mere light bulbs?
And how can this electromagnetic screen dividing the world between sterile opulence on the one side and poverty and tyranny on the other be brought down?
