A terrorist on the run.
A secret government agency.
A wounded teenager who can manipulate time.
After moving halfway around the world, Sam thinks his biggest problems are homesickness and his probably one-sided feelings for the daughter of his mother’s boss. But when his family’s flight is brought down in a shocking act of terrorism, he suffers a traumatic brain injury that leaves him in a coma.
On waking in hospital Sam discovers that his father died in the crash. Struggling to come to terms with his loss, he begins to experience strange seizures that distort the flow of time and transport him into the body of his past or future self, often with disorientating effects. At first these episodes feel more like a disability than anything useful. That is until he collapses and finds himself flung several hours ahead, where he learns of another terrorist attack.
Can Sam prevent the impending atrocity before it takes place? Can he master his new powers to save his family from violent deaths that are already in the past, defeat the sinister forces that wish to use him for their own ends, and maybe also win the girl he loves…by turning the pages of time?
