Kage Baker – In the Garden of Iden
Posted by Dirk under: books .
Sometime in the future The Company develops time travel and the ability to make humans immortal. They go back in time and find young children, make them immortal and train them as operatives who work for The Company through out the ages. This is the first book in the series and involves Mendoza, a young Spanish girl who is saved from the Inquisition, is made into an immortal, trained as a botanist and sent back into the wide world when she’s 19.
On her assignment she meets a mortal dude and falls for him, which ya just know isn’t gonna end up good.
I liked it. The concept is cool. Sort of a historical novel mixed with sci-fi. I’ll probably check out more from the library.
