In the twenty-fourth century, Dr. Zeus, Incorporated discovered time travel. However, rather than benefiting humanity, the firm plundered history taking valuable artifacts so the shareholders became wealthy. One of the top agents, the botanist Mendoza, fell in love with an apparent sixteenth century English native only to watch him die; next Mendzoa fell in love with a duplicate in nineteenth century Hollywood only to see him murdered. This time the cyborg killed the culprits. The firm exiles her to 150,000 BCE (“More or Less”).

The millenniums pass as Mendoza waits for rescue until the arrival of a time-shuttle piloted by Alec Checkerfield. He is a triplet to her deceased beloveds and wants to destroy Dr. Zeus. Mendoza wants to believe him as he is identical to her two loves, but has doubts about his sincerity and questions three men born in different centuries over a millennium looking like identical triplets. Dr. Zeus must be involved but how?
