Publisher's summary

"Amazing! One of the twistiest time-tales I've ever read..."—Diana Gabaldon

"Crichtonesque thrillers don't come much better than this intricate outing which combines a fantastic premise... with a closed-circle whodunit. Readers won't be able to turn the pages fast enough."—Publishers Weekly—Starred Review

From the worldwide bestselling author of The Extinction Trials, Departure, and The Atlantis Gene comes a new kind of sci-fi thriller: a time-travel murder mystery with a twist you'll never see coming.

Control the Past. Save the Future.

Dr. Sam Anderson is one of the most celebrated scientists in history. Ten years ago, he invented a device that changed the world forever. Now his life is about to be ripped apart—and his own creation may be to blame.

One fateful morning, Sam discovers that his girlfriend has been murdered and that his daughter is accused of the crime.

Sam believes she's innocent, but he can't prove it. There's only one thing he can do to save his daughter: confess to the crime. And so he does.

But in the future, murderers aren't sent to prison. They're sent to the past.

Thanks to Sam's invention–Absolom–the world's worst criminals are exiled forever, sent back to the time of the dinosaurs, where they live out their lives alone.

As Sam steps into the Absolom chamber to leave for the Late Triassic, he makes a promise: he will get back to his family, clear his name, and find the person who killed the woman he loved.

What Sam doesn't know is that there's a secret waiting for him in the past. And it might be his only hope of saving himself and his family.

Sam isn't the only one seeking justice. In the present, his daughter, Adeline, also embarks on a mission to find the person who framed her and tore her family apart. She's already lost her mother. She can't bear losing her father too.

As Adeline peels back the layers of the conspiracy against her family, she uncovers more questions than answers. Everyone around her is hiding a secret, including her legal guardian. And some people aren't what they seem.

Adeline soon finds herself in the midst of a mystery that stretches across the past, present, and future—and leads to a revelation that will change everything.

Lost in Time is more than a murder mystery about advanced technology and time travel. It's a heartwarming story about family and the lengths we might go to in order to save the ones we love—with a twist that will have you questioning everything you thought you knew since the first moment.

Loved it except for the young brother situation

I loved the story and performance. Throughout I was concerned about the impact on the young brother. It would be a much better book if he wasn’t even a character. He was ignored and that bothered me. But not too distracting. Probably just my sensitivities. I recommend the book. Interesting with an unexpected and unique development.

Ok

Started out pretty ok then turned in to just more stupid. The main thing that caused the problem they ignored to tell us how.

Dubious at first

I hesitated before buying this audiobook. I like the author but I’m not wild about time travel. The story started with a series of depressing events but there was a mystery that indicated a recovery. It hooked me with twists and turns plus a trip to the Triassic. Couldn’t put it down.

Can't change the past except they do it constantly

1. It is impossible to change the past. It can't be altered in any way.
2. When you travel to the past you must be extremely careful not to change it because that would destroy our universe.
If you follow that then you can follow the plot.
