En la antigua Mesopotamia unos soldados al servicio del rey mantienen un encuentro fortuito con tres criaturas espectrales a las que toman por dioses. Siglos después, ya en época victoriana, un filólogo inglés llamado Wilhem Dupont traduce una tablilla asiria donde se narra la visita de unos seres venidos de las estrellas. Aturdido por su propio descubrimiento, reflejará todo lo que sabe en un diario cuya pista se pierde con el advenimiento de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.Mucho más adelante, el siglo XXIV, un grupo de astronautas va a iniciar un viaje a lo desconocido. Tratarán de atravesar un túnel de singularidad cósmica que les permitirá moverse a través del tiempo.¿Qué ocurrió realmente en Khorsabad? La trama se va nutriendo con documentos secretos, entrevistas y confesiones de personajes de épocas dispares que encajan como un puzzle, hasta desvelar los sucesos ocurridos a bordo de la Nave del Tiempo y la inevitable huella que dejan, visible solo a los ojos de los más atentos.
