The Traveler - Joseph Eckert

Descriere

nThe Traveler is the story of a reluctant time-traveler and his son, and the bond between them that even millennia cannot break. An adventure full of heartbreak, hope, and futures beyond imagination. n nIt's a day like any other when Scott Treder first jumps forward through time. One moment, he's on his way to work, fingers drumming the steering wheel. The next, he's tumbling head-long down the road, his car gone, a dozen panicked voicemails from his wife waiting on his cell. n n7:51am. Monday, April 13th. n nA blink of an eye. n n7:52am. Tuesday, April 14th. n nAn entire 24 hours, gone. n nThis one moment--this first spontaneous slip--marks a change in the course not only of Scott's future, but that of the world. From this point on, at precisely 7:52am every morning, Scott inexplicably travels forward in time in ever-doubling intervals. First one day lost in a blink, then two, then four, until weeks, even years, are passing him by in an instant. n nMeanwhile, his wife is left to pick up the pieces of the life they once shared together alone, and, before long, Lyle, Scott's genius seven-year-old son, will surpass him in age. n nBecause while his dad is rocketing forward in time, Lyle is growing up - graduating early, studying at Berkeley, becoming the foremost scholar of quantum physics, all in an attempt to bring his father back. n nMeet an extraordinary father and son in this captivating, heart-wrenching speculative debut.n
