"Yes, of course: I am a cat..." With those words we begin to see the world through the eyes of the Timeslider Cat-a super-intelligent, telepathic, time-traveling feline with a scientist's interest in the human race. And through the Cat's eyes unfolds the story of Renata Beaumanoir, a beautiful young college teacher with many of the problems common to young college teachers, and one big one that's not so common: Renata is a vampire... With locales ranging across the centuries from a small college town in North Carolina to the plague-ridden battlefields of the Middle Ages, Timeslider is a sometimes whimsical, sometimes violent, but always intelligent and entertaining romp across time and space. It's an adventure, as well as a meditation on the meaning of immortality, memory, history and friendship-all told in the opinionated, snarky, sometimes infuriating voice of the Timeslider Cat.
