Description

"This novel is addictive as hell" - Gareth Brown, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Book of Doors

First a day. Then a year. Then forever.

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 morning like any other when Scott Treder first slips. One moment, he's driving to work, fingers drumming the steering wheel. The next, he is tumbling down the road, his car gone, his world changed.

7:51 am. Monday, April 13th.
7:52 am. Tuesday, April 14th.

Twenty-four hours, lost in a heartbeat.

This first slip is just the beginning. At precisely 7:52 am each morning, Scott jumps forward in time in ever-doubling intervals. First a day is lost. Then weeks. Then decades. As Scott hurtles helplessly toward the future, he watches his seven-year-old son, Lyle, grow into a man - and then an old man - in a matter of days.

But Lyle has a plan. He dedicates his entire existence to a single, impossible goal: catching the father who is leaving him behind…

An epic story of survival, heartbreak, and a father-son bond that defies the laws of physics.
