Helpful Score: 1

Wonderful book. Second book in Kage Baker's "the Company" time travel series, following In the Garden of Iden. Heroine Mendoza (who had been rescued from the Inquisition in book 1) is assigned with a team to California in 1800's. She meets a man who reminds her of her lost love from book 1, with violent results.

In this series, the Company creates immortal cyborgs out of suitable children, and sends them back in time to preserve priceless treasures or doomed species, or secrete them where they will be found by the Company centuries later. But who benefits, and what is the purpose? The mystery is revealed bit by bit over the course of the Company series.
