HERE AND NOW AND THEN is The Time Traveller's Wife if written by Nick Hornby, combining the perfect balance of heart, playfulness and imaginationโa sci-fi story with incredible commercial appeal and a heart-wrenching, emotional family element.
Where--and when--would you go for the ones you love?
Kin Stewart is an everyday family man, working in I.T., trying to keep the spark in his marriage, and struggling to connect with his teenage daughter. But his current life is a far cry from his previous careerโฆas a time-traveling agent from 2142.
Stranded in suburban San Francisco since the 1990s after a botched mission, Kin's past is a secret from everyone, despite the increasing blackouts and memory loss affecting his time-traveler's brain. But one day, his agency's rescue team arrives...18 years too late. Their mission: return Kin to 2142 where he's only been gone weeks, not years, and where another family is waiting for him โ a family he can't remember.
Torn between two livesโtwo homes, two familiesโKin is desperate for a way to stay connected to both. But when his best efforts threaten to rip a hole in the space-time continuum, and his daughter's very existence in history is threatened, he'll need to make one final trip across time to save her, breaking all the rules of time-travel in the process.
A uniquely emotional genre-bending debut, Here and Now and Then offers an intimate glimpse into the crevices of a father's heart, and its capacity to stretch across both space and time to protect the people that mean the most.
