Heist

For centuries, the Library of Alexandria was the center of learning in the ancient world, until the carelessness of Caesar's legions consigned its many books and scrolls to the flame. When a team of Harvard librarians is sent back in time to prevent this catastrophe, will they succeed in changing the course of history, or are their efforts mysteriously doomed to fail over and over again? Heist is a 16,000 word novella imagining the future of libraries and those who depend on them. It is the second installment in a series of library-themed science fiction stories titled "L is for Librarian." (Description from Amazon.com)
