The book explores themes of time travel, morality, and the intersection of past and present through the experiences of its main character, Charles Justin, who finds himself navigating both the historical world of 18th-century Boston and a present filled with existential decisions. The narrative raises questions about the impact of individual choices on the course of history, particularly as Justin faces the moral dilemma of whether to support a charismatic preacher named Henri Dubois whose influence could have devastating consequences.  The opening of the novel introduces Charles Justin, an executive vice-president at a bank, as he walks through the historic streets of Boston, reminiscing about the past and contemplating his life. Justin's complex relationship with his wife, Marie, and his interaction with a psychiatrist, Jack Fellowes, hint at deeper personal challenges. The narrative shifts as Justin meets Dubois, who seeks significant financial backing for his Missionism movement. It creates a sense of urgency and moral conflict as Justin must confront the implications of his decisions in the face of societal changes that Dubois represents. This opening portion sets the stage for a blend of historical reflection, character development, and the impending crisis that will challenge Justin’s values and sanity.
