An extraordinary father and son journey through time in this captivating, heart-wrenching speculative debut.

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.
A blink of an eye.

7:52 am. Tuesday, April 14th.
An entire 24 hours, gone.

This first spontaneous slip will forever change Scott’s future. At precisely 7:52 am each morning, Scott inexplicably travels forward in time in ever-doubling intervals. First one day lost in a blink, then two, then four, until weeks – and then years – pass him by in an instant.

Meanwhile, his wife is left pick up the pieces of their broken lives together. And it won't be long before Lyle, Scott's seven-year-old son, will surpass him in age.

As each jump brings dangerous changes to the world Scott once knew, the time to fix it slips further from his grasp. But Lyle has his own plans, and he’s determined to ensure his dad lives to see another day, no matter how unpredictable the future . . .

The story of a reluctant time-traveler and an unbreakable between father and son. An adventure full of heartbreak, hope, and futures beyond imagination.
