Review
The hero and heroine of this lively likable tale cover a lot of territory and zigzag through a lot of history as they drive a Model A Ford through secret passages in time. After Eli Teague encounters Harriet “Harry” Pritchard fleeing from a murderous faceless man he joins her on a road quest to recover the lost American Dream. They are part of a loose swarm of travelers who can move forward or back in time in their various vehicles pursued by the ubiquitous indistinguishable and apparently indestructible government agents who want to stamp out individual freedom. The menace is convincing as is Eli and Harry’s friendly romance. Like Eli readers will be surprised by revelations about some characters’ true identities and they’ll be pleased to see how Clines connects details that looked like mere decorative flourishes. This adventure makes no attempt to be deep; it’s a superior time passer a wonderfully amusing yarn. Agent: David Fugate LaunchBooks Literary. (Oct.)" Publishers Weekly Copyright PWxyz, LLC.

Synopsis
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.
