This book explores themes of identity and survival as it follows the adventures of Robbin Cutlass, a space pirate with a price on his head, who seeks refuge not only from his pursuers but also in time itself. The narrative traverses the realms of space and time through the innovative concepts of time-warping technology created by a brilliant Martian scientist.

Seeking aid from Doc Raven, a genius scientist who has been hidden away for years, Cutlass is offered a chance to escape not just space but time. With the use of a peculiar device, he is transported to various historical periods where his instincts kick in, leading him into new escapades and conflicts. As Cutlass meets both familiar and unfamiliar challenges in different incarnations throughout time, he grapples with the consequences of his existence as a pirate and the recurring patterns in his life, all while evading the relentless pursuit of those who wish to claim his life.
