From Publishers Weekly
This convoluted conclusion to Baker's Company novels (after The Machine's Child) explores the events leading up to July 8, 2355, the moment when the Silence falls and all future contact is cut off for the immortals and cyborgs who travel through time collecting human artifacts on behalf of the profit-hungry Dr. Zeus Inc. As the Silence draws near, splinter groups begin jockeying to benefit. A human cabal plots, somewhat hilariously, to take out the cyborgs with poisoned chocolates. The cyborg Lewis, desperate to warn others of the injury done him, lies wounded in a burrow, telling disoriented stories to a woman with strange powers. On a deserted island, Mendoza bears two children to her husband, Edward, and gives them the minds of her ex-lovers, Alec and Nicholas, proving that cyborgs are capable of creation. The intertwining stories all come together in an explosive denouement that heralds the end of the Company, but the beginning of something strange and new. (July)

From Booklist
To conclude the annals of the time-traveling Company, the secrets of the Silence are finally revealed. All time lines lead to the last date of recorded history, in July 2355, after which nobody, not even those accustomed to knowing all history, knows what happens. Mendoza and her lover, superhuman Edward Bell-Fairfax, are married; his other two incarnations, Alec and Nicholas, become her children. Edward, who has always plotted world domination, changes as he is drawn into being a father, and because he and Mendoza have discovered how to be unencumbered by linear time, they have all the past to prepare for the Silence. Suleyman, the immortal Facilitator, has uncovered the secrets of Alpha-Omega, which is vital to the survival of mortal humans. The board of directors, meanwhile, terrified of what might happen after the Silence, prepares for the worst and in the process activates the AI Dr. Zeus. The enforcer Budu gathers his forces for a final strike. The climax is perfectly in character for Baker's world, and all the threads of the Company's plots are neatly woven together. Schroeder, Regina
