A professor suffers a five-year gap in his memory, only to discover that his body was inhabited by an intellect from a prehistoric civilization. Driven by disturbing dreams, he travels to the Australian desert to uncover the physical proof of the Great Race of Yith. The novel explores the concept of deep time and the terrifying realization that humanity is merely a temporary vessel for older, superior minds. It is a grand sci-fi horror story about the displacement of the self.
