"GET IN THE CAR, MR. TEAGUE. THE ROAD BECKONS." The traveler sped through Eli Teague´s life long ago. With her tricorne hat, flintlock rifle, and steampunked Model-A Ford, she was a living anachronism, and an irresistible mystery--and she was gone as soon as she arrived, in a cloud of gunfire and a squeal of tires. So when Eli sees her again, he´s determined that this time, he´s going to get some answers. But his hunt soon yields far more than he bargained for, plunging him headlong into a dizzying world full of competing factions and figures straight out of legend. To make sense of the secret at its heart, he must embark on a breakneck chase across the country and through two centuries of history­--with nothing less than America´s past, present, and future at stake.
