I've been hearing about the Company novels for years. When this got nominated for the Beyond Reality reading group, I finally got around to reading it.
It's a really good book.
The story centers around member of the Company, people who have been transformed into cyborgs who help gather information and items from the past. This story is about Mendoza, a young woman who joins the Company, trains as a bontanist and travels to England under Mary Tudor.
Mendoza makes the book for she is a totally realstic and breathing character. She acts as a immortal and as a young woman which leads to conflicts. Her companions are well drawn as well, making the interactions of the Company members wonderful reading.
