The Traveler

‘If you loved books like The Time Traveler’s Wife, then you must read this story’ – James Rollins, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of Map of Bones **A mind-bending story of a time-traveler jumping forward in time in ever-doubling intervals, the family he'll do anything to save, and the profound heartbreak of life slipping away. Joseph Eckert's The Traveler is a captivating and heart-wrenching debut perfect for fans of Blake Crouch, The Time Traveler's Wife and Interstellar.** It’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 down the road, his car gone, a dozen panicked voicemails from his wife waiting on his phone. 7:51 am. Monday, April 13th. 7:52 am. Tuesday, April 14th. An entire 24 hours, gone. Lost in a blink. This first spontaneous slip is just the beginning. At precisely 7:52 am each morning, Scott inexplicably travels forward in time in ever-doubling intervals. First one day lost, then two, then four, until weeks – and then years – pass him by in an instant. Meanwhile, his wife is left to pick up the pieces of their broken lives. And it won't be long before his seven-year-old son, Lyle, will be older than he is. With each jump, the world Scott once knew vanishes, and the time to fix it slips further from his grasp. But Lyle has his own plans. He’s determined to save his father, no matter how unpredictable the future . . . An epic story of survival, heartbreak, and a father-son bond that defies the laws of physics, The Traveler is an adventure to the very end of time. * * * ‘This novel is addictive as hell’ – Gareth Brown, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Book of Doors
