He invented time travel. Now he has one chance to use it to save his daughter. Dr. David Dobbs has spent his life trying to understand time. But after his young daughter is murdered and his family is shattered by grief, understanding it is no longer enough. He wants to change it. David has discovered that time isn't the straight line humanity has always imagined. It folds. It overlaps. And at rare points, those folds can be crossed. His invention, the Bridge Device, makes the impossible possible. But the path to saving his daughter isn't a straight one. To reach the moment that destroyed his family, David must follow a chain of fleeting bridges scattered across thousands of years of human history. His journey will carry him through ancient Egypt, the American Revolution, the disaster of Pompeii, ancient wars, the high seas of the pirate era, and worlds he was never meant to see. Some stops last hours. Others last years. Each one takes him closer to home, while pulling him further from the man he once was. Along the way, David begins to discover something his equations never predicted. Time has rules he doesn't fully understand. Choices have consequences, but not the ones he imagined. And someone else may understand the power of the Bridge far better than he realizes. David set out to change one moment. He may have changed everything but his fate. The Bridge Protocol is a sweeping science-fiction adventure about time travel, grief, history, and the impossible lengths a father will go to for one more chance to save his child.
