Here and Now and Then

He´ll go anywhere and any when to save his daughter Kin Stewart is an everyday family man: working in IT, trying to keep the spark in his marriage, struggling to connect with his teenage daughter. But his current life is a far cry from his previous career...as a time-traveling secret agent from over a century in the future. Stranded in suburban San Francisco since the 1990s after a botched mission, Kin has kept his past hidden from everyone around him, until one afternoon, his "rescue" team arrives--eighteen years too late. Their mission: return Kin to 2142, where he´s been gone only weeks, not years, and where another family is waiting for him. A family he can´t remember. Torn between two lives, Kin´s desperate efforts to stay connected to both will threaten to destroy the agency and even history itself. With his daughter´s very existence at risk, he will have to take one final trip to save her--even if it means breaking all the rules of time travel in the process. "Heartfelt and thrilling... Chen´s concept is unique, and [his characters´] agony is deeply moving. Quick pacing, complex characters, and a fascinating premise."--Publishers Weekly, starred review
