Description

Nothing ever changes in Sanders. The town's still got a video store, for god's sake. So why doesn't Eli Teague want to leave Not that he'd ever admit it, but maybe he's been waiting-waiting for the traveler to come back. The one who's roared into his life twice before, pausing just long enough to drop tantalizing clues before disappearing in a cloud of gunfire and a squeal of tires. The one who's a walking anachronism, with her tricorne hat, flintlock rifle, and steampunked Model-A Ford. The one who's being pursued by...something. So when the mysterious traveler finally reappears, Eli's determined that this time, he's going to get some answers. But his hunt soon yields far more than he bargained for, plunging him headlong into a dizzying world full of competing factions and figures straight out of legend. To make sense of the mystery at its heart, he must embark on a breakneck chase across the country and through two centuries of history--with nothing less than America's past, present, and future at stake.

Reviews

A timey-wimey, full-barrel adventure novel that also teaches a non-ironic lesson in American civics . . . [featuring] an epithet-wielding, pistol-packing heroine that will capture hearts.Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Lively, likeable, and wonderfully amusing.Publishers Weekly (starred review)

A fun, almost sweet sci-fi thriller...[our heroes] visit different periods of American history and continue to narrowly escape danger, all while exchanging sassy comebacks. For fans of Ernest Cline.Booklist

Always entertaining. . . . the action is swift and the faceless agents suitably chilling.Library Journal

One cool novel. It has time travel and murders and faceless villains (I mean that literally) and I have a crush on the heroine. If the Tardis were a Model A Ford, this might beDoctor WhomeetsNational Treasure.F. Paul Wilson, New York Times bestselling author of the Repairman Jack series

A fast and resonant time-travel thriller and tour of America, bursting with fun ideas.Django Wexler, author of the Shadow Campaigns novels

So good you'll want to invent time travel and send a copy back to yourself, just so you can read it again for the first time. A tour de force.Jason M. Hough, New York Times bestselling author of The Darwin Elevator
