Description

Theodore Langley, haunted by his father's death in the Great War, travels through time in a desperate attempt to rewrite history's most tragic moments. From the streets of 1914 Sarajevo to the shadows of 1963 Dallas, he discovers that history is an unyielding force that resists direct intervention. After failing to save Archduke Franz Ferdinand, Julius Caesar, and JFK, Theodore shifts his mission from aggressive alteration to a profound philosophical journey. Guided by his father’s enigmatic research and a mysterious timepiece, he seeks wisdom from the greatest minds in human history, including Socrates, Hypatia, Einstein, and the Buddha. He evolves from a frustrated interloper into a 'gardener of knowledge' and a steward of human enlightenment. Across millennia, Theodore learns that while events may be fixed, the ideas and truths discovered by silenced voices are the only things that can truly change the future. He becomes a living vessel of memory, dedicated to preserving the embers of reason against the cycles of ignorance and destruction. Comparable works include Cloud Atlas
