Description
An abandoned vessel. A missing past. A world lost in time.
When a fully rigged forty-five-foot wooden schooner is found drifting off the Florida coast—intact, empty, and untraceable—boatbuilder Nathan Kirks is sent to investigate. The vessel appears recently built using traditional New England methods, yet no record of her construction exists.
Granted permission to sail her north to Brunswick for a maritime festival, Nathan embarks with two close friends and a cautious museum curator. But once they’re offshore, instruments fail, radios fall silent, and the sea itself begins to change.
When they finally make landfall, the marinas are deserted, the towns abandoned, and the world they knew has vanished. Will they find a way back—or become stranded forever in a time that isn’t their own?
From Scott B. Williams, author of In Times to Come and Feral Nation—a new series where the fight to survive begins beyond the edge of time.
