Key Out of Time

Hawaika is all rose-colored skies, pink beaches and waves too gentle to trouble the shore. But the map that brought Ross Murdock there describes a world that no longer exists—or perhaps never did.

On this ocean planet of scattered islands, Ross and fellow Time Agent Gordon Ashe are searching for traces of an ancient civilization, guided by star maps thousands of years old. Instead, they find a place so peaceful it seems to lull its explorers into forgetting the mission—and no sign of the cities the maps promise. With Karara Trehern and her dolphin companions helping them search the sea, Ross must decide where to set their lone time-probe, while the memory of the hairless aliens called Baldies shadows the investigation. What happened to the Hawaika recorded on the ancient tape?
