Time flies when you're plundering history.
Farway Gaius McCarthy was born outside of time. The son of a time-traveling Recorder from 2354 AD and a gladiator living in Rome in 95 AD, Far's birth defies the laws of nature. Exploring history himself is all he's ever wanted, and after failing his final time-traveling exam, Far takes a position commanding a ship with a crew of his friends as part of a black market operation to steal valuables from the past.
But during a heist on the sinking Titanic, Far meets a mysterious girl who always seems to be one step ahead of him. Armed with knowledge that will bring Far's very existence into question, she will lead Far and his team on a race through time to discover a frightening truth: History is not as steady as it seems.
In this heart-stopping adventure, Ryan Graudin has created a fast-paced world that defies time and space.
Invictus just sounds SO amazing! It's like the description of the book has been written to appeal to me especially. That's how much I love the sound of it. I honestly wish the release date wasn't so far away because I want to read it right now! But I guess I can be patient... If I have to. 😉
OH HELLO! I WANT! Ryan Graudin is such an imginative writer! Her Wolf by Wolf series is amazing!
ReplyDeleteI have yet to read that series but I obviously want to!
DeleteI love time traveling stories! Don't think I'd heard about this one yet. Will have to add it to my TBR on Goodreads if not. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my CWW
Time travel is one of my favorite topic to read about. =D
DeleteOMG, OMG, OMG!!!! This sounds so FREAKING AMAZING!!! Although the time travel theme has been used by many authors, there's ALWAYS room for a creative spin on it, and this is definitely one of the most interesting I've seen recently! LOVE IT!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for making this SF fan happy today, and thanks too for commenting on my CWW post!! Now heading over to Goodreads!! <3 <3 :) :)
I'm so glad I got to introduce you to this book, Maria! Hopefully we'll both love Invictus when we read it. <3
DeleteI love this author and don't know how I missed this one, but it's on my list now and I'll probably feature it for a future CWW. So glad you shared!

This gives me very high hopes for Invictus. Yay! <3
DeleteHope you enjoy!!!
ReplyDeleteI have several of Graudin's books, and she captivated me at her YallFest panel back in 2015, but I have yet to read any of her books. I have only heard good things though, and should get on that.
