Paradox Bound - by Peter Clines (Paperback)

About the Book

Originally published in hardcover in 2017 by Crown.

Book Synopsis

"One cool novel. If the Tardis were a Ford Model A, this might be Doctor Who meets National Treasure."--F. Paul Wilson, New York Times bestselling author of the Repairman Jack series

"GET IN THE CAR, MR. TEAGUE. THE ROAD BECKONS."

The traveler sped through Eli Teague's life long ago. With her tricorne hat, flintlock rifle, and steampunked Model-A Ford, she was a living anachronism, and an irresistible mystery--and she was gone as soon as she arrived, in a cloud of gunfire and a squeal of tires.

So when Eli sees her again, he'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 secret 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.
