Translated by William Rodarmor.
This offering operates essentially as a novel-length introduction to a projected series. After Sam's father disappears, Sam finds a secret room, where he's sent back in time. Prévost keeps the plot moving at a breakneck pace, giving both Sam and the reader scant moments to catch their breath between time jumps.
