<p>Physicist Minerva Draper and engineer Maxine Cantros love their work and hate their jobs. They hone the most destructive force in the Universe to create new technologies at a company rotten with corporate lackeys where profit trumps people and the budget doesn't cover public safety.<br><br>An experiment thrusts them into cataclysmic future. The Earth is in peril and middle management pins the blame square on the women.<br><br>To survive they must outsmart murder-craving geniuses. Defend against weapons from the future. And destroy institutional misogyny. To save the future they must grok how an impossible technology destroys the planet.<br><br>And they'll do it all to save a dog that's already dead.<br><br><strong>Min and Max broke physics to save their dog; now humanity is doomed.</strong></p>
