Solicitation[]

From the New York Times best-selling team of Fred Van Lente and Clayton Henry comes a centuries-spanning race against the clock, straight out of the pages of ARCHER & ARMSTRONG!

Prehistoric empires! Dystopian futures! And everywhere in between! The past, present, and future of our universe are about to meet an untimely end, and only the mysterious Ivar Anni-Padda can prevent all three from collapsing in on themselves. Unstuck in time, and pursued by enemies simultaneously across every moment of his time-lost life, can the man called Timewalker save everything that ever was, is, and will be? Get ready for a clock-stopping odyssey into the distant past and far future as the most unlikely Valiant hero of all leaps into his first history-ripping adventure!

Synopsis[]

Neela Sethi, a scientist who is about to invent time travel, meets Ivar Anni-Padda, a mysterious stranger who tells her that she is hunted by the Prometheans. Neela does not believe him at first, but then the Prometheans appear and attempt to kidnap Neela. Ivar and Neela flee through a "time-arc" - a portal that brings them straight into Trafalgar Battle. And while Neela is afraid to accidentally change the future by doing anything in the past, Ivar is quite confident. The Prometheans are about to follow, so Ivar and Neela take the next Time-Arc to the far future where Neela meets another Ivar Anni-Padda who does not know her yet. They have shook off the Prometheans for some time. In the end, the leader of the Prometheans is revealed to be a future version of Neela.

-- Ivar, Timewalker to Neela Sethi

Jesus! We've somehow run into a place even more dangerous than the one we were running from! ... You have failed to grasp the basic concept of "fleeing"!

-- Neela Sethi

Madness-- and genius!

--and the Prometheans are fifth-dimensional, they can move through the fourth dimension along multiple axes as we do through the third. Yes.

-- Ivar, Timewalker

Bottom line is, not all methods of time travel are created equal. Yours is 'equaller' than others.

-- Ivar, Timewalker to Neela Sethi

A ghost would be a comfort at this point! It'd be a sign of life after my imminent death!
