In the 22nd century, the nascent Time Research Institute has been granted a permit by the Church of the Holy Hostage to take Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII's second wife. The equations show a .798 probability that Anne's disappearance, just one month after the birth of her daughter Elizabeth, will prevent the English civil war one hundred years later. The Institute, however, underestimated Anne's ability to manipulate her captors. Hugo Award Nominee
