Synopsis:
"In Lisbon in 1904, a young man named Tomás discovers an old journal. It
hints at the existence of an extraordinary artifact that—if he can find
it—would redefine history. Traveling in one of Europe’s earliest
automobiles, he sets out in search of this strange treasure.
Thirty-five years later, a Portuguese pathologist devoted to the murder mysteries of Agatha Christie finds himself at the center of a mystery of his own and drawn into the consequences of Tomás’s quest.
Fifty years on, a Canadian senator takes refuge in his ancestral village in northern Portugal, grieving the loss of his beloved wife. But he arrives with an unusual companion: a chimpanzee. And there the century-old quest will come to an unexpected conclusion."

Synopsis:
"The western democracies are disintegrating, scarred by violence and
gripped with fear of terrorist attacks. Trying to find solutions to
today's problems, Julia Stretton and other specialists at the Wessex
Project have created a virtual reality projection of a utopian future
where all current issues have been resolved - how did they achieve it?
But on entering Wessex, they lose all memory of their 'real' lives
outside, and as they move back and forth the lines between dream and
reality become obscured. When Julia's ex-lover, the sadistic Paul Mason,
joins the project, he has a sinister plan to take the Wessex projection
to a new and terrifying level . . ."
