Translated by William Rodarmor.
Sam's time-traveling adventures plunge on. His quest to find his father hurtles him, along with cousin Lily, from the age of Neanderthals to Depression-era Chicago to Pompeii, all the while tracked by forces both malevolent and benign. Action is Prévost's priority, but he offers enough character development and detail of setting to fully realize both the contemporary and historical scenes.
