"Beware of shaking hands with a Sterkarm!" warns a folk saying, reflecting the treachery of a 16th-century Scottish clan known for their left-handedness and hidden daggers. When a 21st-century mega-corporation opens a Time Tube to exploit the ancient English-Scottish border, the CEO's ambitions are thwarted by the fierce Sterkarms, whom he views as primitive. Meanwhile, anthropologist Andrea Mitchell is sent to live among the Sterkarms as the corporation's informant. To her surprise, she finds acceptance and admiration from the volatile yet affectionate clansmen. When her lover, Per, is severely injured during a raid, Andrea convinces Old Toorkild, the chief, to allow Per to be transported to the future for medical treatment. However, when Per awakens in the 21st century, his fear and distrust lead to a dramatic clash between advanced technology and the passionate defense of his people. This richly textured love story, filled with humor and cultural confrontation, has garnered acclaim, including the Guardian Fiction Prize, and is sure to captivate fans of teen fantasy and time travel.
