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.

Critics' reviews

"A rousing adventure novel that marries steampunk aesthetics to the seminal concept of protecting American liberty." ( Kirkus Reviews)

The story was quite entertaining... only the core motivation made me (as a European) cringe hard. You'll know when you get there. Other than that, I enjoyed the travel and interactions. The pacing and length hit the sweet spot for the story told.
The voice actor/narrator does a perfect job in my opinion. The voices are very distinguishable and don't lack consistency.

Enjoyable story well told

As usual, Ray Porter does an amazing job with his voice acting. And Peter Clines presents here a very well thought-through story of time travel with a novel take on the American Dream. In summary, recommended listening for all fans of Sci-fi and alternate history.

... finish it. Despite the ever-stellar performance of Ray Porter, I decided to abandon the story after 5 hrs (and I had been bored since hour 3).

The idea might be neat but I do not care about even a single character and that's not enough to sustain me through 7 more hours. Also, the take on time-travel - excuse me, HISTORY travel - didn't thrill me. There's just no there there.

didn't get me invested enough to ...
