Synopsis

Rule One: Travel can only occur to a point within your lifetime.
Rule Two: You can only travel for ninety seconds.
Rule Three: You can only observe.
The rules cannot be broken.

This is not the story you think you know. And the rules are only the beginning.

The Third Rule of Time Travel is a riveting sci-fi thriller that packs an emotional punch from acclaimed author Philip Fracassi, perfect for fans of The Space Between Worlds and Severance.

Praise for Philip Fracassi:

' A clever premise digs its heels into a sci-fi thriller that breaks into a gallop from the first page - exciting, haunting, compelling stuff' Chuck Wendig

'Frighteningly plausible science fiction. . .chilling and unpredictable' Tyler Jones, author of Midas

'Fracassi makes terror read so damn beautifully' Victor LaValle, author of The Changeling

'Unrelenting and highly entertaining' Thomas Olde Heuvelt, author of Hex
'A smart and deftly-written tale' Nick Cutter, author of The Troop

'As poignant as it is chilling, with a fast-paced, unflinching ending' Alma Katsu, author of The Hunger

'The most unsettling novel I have read all year' Ronald Malfi, author of Black Mouth

'Harrowing and claustrophobic' Christopher Golden, author of Road of Bones

'Fracassi. . . builds his horrific tales slowly and carefully...he's especially skilful at creating, and sustaining, suspense' The New York Times

'Gut-wrenching, heart breaking, and terrifying' Andy Davidson, author of The Boatman's Daughter

'Fracassi's storytelling is. . . horror with a big, broken heart' Esquire
