Time
flies
when
you're
plundering
history.
Farway
Gaius
McCarthy
was
born
outside
of
time.
The
son
of
a
time
traveler
from
2354
AD
and
a
gladiator
living
in
ancient
Rome,
Far's
very
existence
defies
the
laws
of
nature.
All
he's
ever
wanted
was
to
explore
history
for
himself,
but
after
failing
his
entrance
exam
into
the
government
program,
Far
will
have
to
settle
for
a
position
on
the
black
market--captaining
a
time-traveling
crew
to
steal
valuables
from
the
past.
During
a
routine
heist
on
the
sinkingTitanic,
Far
meets
a
mysterious
girl
named
Eliot
who
always
seems
to
be
one
step
ahead
of
him.
Eliot
has
secrets--big
ones--that
will
affect
Far's
life
from
beginning
to
end.
Armed
with
the
knowledge
that
history
is
not
as
steady
as
it
seems,
she
will
lead
Far
and
his
team
on
a
race
through
time
to
set
things
right
before
the
clock
runs
out.

"Snarky
banter,
a
clever
setup,
and
a
diverse
and
well-drawn

this
rollicking,
bombshell-laden
adventure.

intricate
worldbuilding
brings
the
distant
past
and
far
future
to
vivid
life.
Readers
who
like
their
science
fiction
shot
through

be
enthralled."

Weekly(starred
review)* "The story is well paced, and...deals with issues of trust, romance, and duty. This would be an excellent addition to most high school collections."—VOYA(starred review)
* "Invictusis a creative, mesmerizing adventure... From start to finish, it will captivate readers with unique characters, intriguing concepts, and an adorable red panda. It would be a great disservice to this generation of action-packed cinema to dismiss this novel without attempting to bring it to the big screen...Invictusis a ride that no young adult reader should miss."—VOYATeen Reviewer (starred review)
"This is high adventure with a literary bent, and it's held together by a lovable, ragtag crew-turned-family that wouldn't be out of place inFirefly. A well-researched, thoroughly enjoyable romp through the ages."—Booklist
"Swoonworthy sci-fi: that's something that doesn't come along every day."—Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"A
madcap,
vivid
time-travel
tale
with
a
strong
ensemble,
both
indebted
and
cheekily
alluding
toDoctor
WhoandFirefly."
—Kirkus
