Have you ever wondered about Eden? Was there ever a true paradise on earth? Yes, and that world was the prehistoric world of the middle Miocene. Opalescence starts out in a future of total ecological collapse, desperation and regret. When time travel to an unspoiled prehistoric past is accidentally discovered by scientists at the Institute de Physica, a particle accelerator in southern California, the government is immediately interested. Maybe this will be their out. They send two people back to investigate.
