Time has marched on, well, at least it has for some beings in this sequel to Jerome and the Seraph. It's hard to know whether time has marched on for Quant, the tabby cat, or if he has marched upon it. Quant's journey's through the space time continuum in this volume go from the current time to the distant past when the Greek mythic figures were alive.

His leading enables the very unhappy Minataur out of the labyrinth and into truth. Jerome is still poking around, trying to figure out how to move through space, if not time, without getting in a mess; and the brothers in the abbey try to adjust to their new Guardian, a very difficult sort he is.

Yet, the message from the first book endures, God is the God of all, over and above all false gods. Readers can either be offended at this idea or recall that C.S. Lewis made a similiar claim in the last chapter of the final Narnia book, The Last Battle.

Synopsis
The cat is back! And once again he's keeping a protective eye on his old friend Brother Jerome - the late Brother Jerome, that is. When Leo, his pet cat, showed up in the afterworld, Jerome assumed he was there because he'd died. But Leo's real name is Quantum, and quantum cats don't die.

A rockfall in the Minotaur's labyrinth sets off a quantum leap. The Minotaur finds himself in a garden shed in the twenty-first century, and Jerome finds himself in a maze of corridors in the "old" world, although, with "the time thing", it isn't the old world any more.

Meantime, in the friary, the Guardian, Father Aidan, is having a crisis of faith. until one day he sees the divine light shining for him once more, and we see the cat in his true form - a seraph, a divine envoy, the angelos of the title.
