An ex-soldier travels back in time to stop WWI in the international best-selling author's “thought provoking and captivating” sci-fi thriller (Booklist, starred review).
It's June 1st, 1914, and Hugh Stanton is the loneliest man on earth. No one he has ever known or loved has been born yet. Perhaps now, if he succeeds in his mission, they never will be.
Stanton knows that a great and terrible war is coming. A war that will begin with a single bullet. If he can stop the hand that pulls the trigger, the 20th century will be set on a radically different course. But can a single bullet truly corrupt an entire century? And, if so, could another single bullet save it?
