Take a pair of time-hopping con artists looking for their next mark. Add a naĂŻve and
incredibly rich young scientist waiting to be fleeced. Stir together in the volatile
political atmosphere of Roman-occupied Jerusalem at the time of the Crucifixion. The result:
a wickedly entertaining blend of screwball comedy and biting social satire from one of
science fiction’s most honored authors.
