About the book
The Hugo Award–winning author of Spin, praised as "a hell of a storyteller" by Stephen King, gives time travel his own mind-bending twist . . .
Two events made September 1st a memorable day for Jesse Cullum. First, he lost a pair of Oakley sunglasses. Second, he saved the life of President Ulysses S. Grant.
In the near future of Robert Charles Wilson's Last Year, the technology exists to open doorways into the past—but not our past, not exactly. Each "past" is effectively an alternate world, identical to ours but only up to the date on which we access it. And a given "past" can only be reached once. After a passageway is open, it's the only road to that particular past; once closed, it can't be reopened.
A passageway has been opened to a version of late 19th-century Ohio. It's been in operation for most of a decade, but it's no secret, on either side of time. A small city has grown up around it to entertain visitors from our time, and many locals earn a good living catering to them. But like all such operations, it has a shelf life; as the "natives" become more sophisticated, their version of the "past" grows less attractive as a destination.
Jesse Cullum is a native. And he knows the passageway will be closing soon. He's fallen in love with a woman from our time, and he means to follow her back—no matter whose secrets he has to expose in order to do it.
"Wilson's prose is beautifully constructed in this intelligent and gripping novel." —Chicago Review of Books

About the book
From the author of Station Eleven comes a breathtaking meditation on time, memory, and connection that spans centuries and worlds.
In 1912, exiled eighteen-year-old Edwin St. Andrew wanders into a Canadian forest and hears something impossible: the faint strains of a violin inside an airship terminal.

And in the far future, detective Gaspery-Jacques Roberts investigates an anomaly that links their lives across time.
What he discovers bends the limits of reality and reveals the fragile beauty of human existence.
Emily St. John Mandel’s Sea of Tranquility is a tender, time-spanning masterpiece about how love and art echo through the ages.

About the book
Matt Fuller’s life is going nowhere fast. He’s a burned-out MIT research assistant with no career prospects, no girlfriend, and no reason to expect tomorrow will be any better. Then, in a fluke of science and boredom, he accidentally creates a time machine.

But each leap propels him further into the future, where the rules of civilization keep changing and humanity itself begins to look unrecognizable. What starts as a desperate experiment turns into an odyssey across centuries, as Matt races through collapsing societies and strange utopias, searching for a way home.
But the further he goes, the more he realizes time may not want him back.
Some discoveries should never happen by accident.

About the book
Inception meets True Detective in this science fiction thriller of spellbinding tension and staggering scope that follows a special agent into a savage murder case with grave implications for the fate of mankind...
“I promise you have never read a story like this.”—Blake Crouch, New York Times bestselling author of Dark Matter
Shannon Moss is part of a clandestine division within the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. In western Pennsylvania, 1997, she is assigned to solve the murder of a Navy SEAL's family—and to locate his vanished teenage daughter. Though she can't share the information with conventional law enforcement, Moss discovers that the missing SEAL was an astronaut aboard the spaceship U.S.S. Libra—a ship assumed lost to the currents of Deep Time. Moss knows first-hand the mental trauma of time-travel and believes the SEAL's experience with the future has triggered this violence.
Determined to find the missing girl and driven by a troubling connection from her own past, Moss travels ahead in time to explore possible versions of the future, seeking evidence to crack the present-day case. To her horror, the future reveals that it's not only the fate of a family that hinges on her work, for what she witnesses rising over time's horizon and hurtling toward the present is the Terminus: the terrifying and cataclysmic end of humanity itself.
Luminous and unsettling, The Gone World bristles with world-shattering ideas yet remains at its heart an intensely human story.

Elan Mastai's acclaimed debut novel is a story of friendship and family, of unexpected journeys and alternate paths, and of love in its multitude of forms.
It's 2016, and in Tom Barren's world, technology has solved all of humanity's problems—there's no war, no poverty, no under-ripe avocadoes. Unfortunately, Tom isn't happy. He's lost the girl of his dreams. And what do you do when you're heartbroken and have a time machine? Something stupid.
Finding himself stranded in a terrible alternate reality—which we immediately recognize as our 2016—Tom is desperate to fix his mistake and go home. Right up until the moment he discovers wonderfully unexpected versions of his family, his career, and the woman who may just be the love of his life.
Now Tom faces an impossible choice. Go back to his perfect but loveless life. Or stay in our messy reality with a soulmate by his side. His search for the answer takes him across continents and timelines in a quest to figure out, finally, who he really is and what his future—our future—is supposed to be.
Filled with humor and heart and packed with insight, intelligence, and mind-bending invention, All Our Wrong Todays is a powerful and moving story of life, loss, and love.

History is under constant threat from those foolish enough to try to change it. Temporal tourism is booming, offering the rich and reckless a chance to meddle in the past. It is illegal, dangerous, and extremely profitable—and the Time Police are determined to shut it down.
When their top agents are taken out, replacements are needed immediately. Enter Team Weird: Luke, Jane, and Matthew, three rookie officers still in training and not exactly by-the-book. They might lack polish, but their creativity and nerve may be exactly what is needed.
In Hard Time, Jodi Taylor delivers another witty, fast-paced adventure in the Time Police series, where the fate of history rests in the hands of the most unlikely heroes imaginable.
