Synopsis
From the worldwide bestselling author of The Extinction Trials, Departure, and The Atlantis Gene comes a new sci-fi thriller. Dr. Sam Anderson is one of the most celebrated scientists in history. Ten years ago, he invented a device that changed the world forever. Now his life is about to be ripped apart - and his own creation may be to blame.
One fateful morning, Sam discovers that his girlfriend has been murdered and that his daughter is accused of the crime. Sam believes she's innocent, but he can't prove it. There's only one thing he can do to save his daughter: confess to the crime. And so he does. But in the future, murderers aren't sent to prison. They're sent to the past. Thanks to Sam's invention - Absolom - the world's worst criminals are exiled forever, sent back to the time of the dinosaurs, where they live out their lives alone.
As Sam steps into the Absolom chamber to leave for the Late Triassic, he makes a promise: he will get back to his family, clear his name, and find the person who killed the woman he loved. What Sam doesn't know is that there's a secret waiting for him in the past. And it might be his only hope of saving himself and his family.
"Reads like a superior collaboration between Dan Brown and Michael Crichton." --Guardian on Pandemic

'Amazing One of the twistiest time-tales I've ever read' Diana Gabaldon 'Crichtonesque thrillers don't come much better than this intricate outing which combines a fantastic premise - a time-travel device known as Absolom is used to imprison dangerous criminals in the prehistoric past - with a closed-circle whodunit...
