Thirteenâ€"yearâ€"old Simon Savage is coming home from an afternoon surfing when his world changes forever: his father has drowned under mysterious circumstances. Then he's approached by a secret government agency that informs him he has the perfect DNA for time travel -- he is young enough to survive the harshness of travel through time, strong enough to carry out risky missions, and bold enough to get what he wants when he wants it. The only catch is, until now, no one has been sent into the future. Yet that is exactly where Simon is headed. Three centuries and multiple timeâ€"trips later, Simon uncovers a mystery he could never have imagined. However, unlocking this secret is only the beginning for Simon Savage.
