Reviews"Mike Chen's debut novel is a generous, warm-hearted adventure. It's the story of a father, a daughter, and a love stronger than time itself. I absolutely loved it." -Kat Howard, Alex Award-winning author of An Unkindness of Magicians "Mike Chen's Here and Now and Then takes time travel past the "what if?" and into the "what after?" all while dealing elegantly "with what could possibly go wrong!?" A strong and very real father-daughter relationship is tested across the centuries, as Chen's characters navigate adventure and consequences together. A tight net of excitement and wonder." -Fran Wilde, award-winning author of Updraft, and Hugo and Nebula finalist "Mike Chen's Here and Now and Then takes time travel past the "what if?" and into the "what after?" all while dealing elegantly "with what could possibly go wrong!?"

SynopsisTo save his daughter, he'll go anywhere--and any-when... Kin Stewart is an everyday family man: working in IT, trying to keep the spark in his marriage, struggling to connect with his teenage daughter, Miranda. But his current life is a far cry from his previous career...as a time-traveling secret agent from 2142. Stranded in suburban San Francisco since the 1990s after a botched mission, Kin has kept his past hidden from everyone around him, despite the increasing blackouts and memory loss affecting his time-traveler's brain. Until one afternoon, his "rescue" team arrives--eighteen years too late. Their mission: return Kin to 2142, where he's only been gone weeks, not years, and where another family is waiting for him. A family he can't remember. Torn between two lives, Kin is desperate for a way to stay connected to both. But when his best efforts threaten to destroy the agency and even history itself, his daughter's very existence is at risk. It'll take one final trip across time to save Miranda--even if it means breaking all the rules of time travel in the process. A uniquely emotional genre-bending debut, Here and Now and Then captures the perfect balance of heart, playfulness, and imagination, offering an intimate glimpse into the crevices of a father's heart and its capacity to stretch across both space and time to protect the people that mean the most., From the New York Times bestselling author of Star Wars: Brotherhood A Goodreads Choice Awards 2019 Semifinalist One of BookBub's Best Science Fiction Books of 2019 One of Book Riot's Best Books of 2019 So Far One of The Nerd Daily's Best Debut Novels of 2019 Featured in The Millions "A Year in Reading" One of Entropy's Best Fiction Books of 2019 He'll go anywhere and any when to save his daughter Kin Stewart is an everyday family man: working in IT, trying to keep the spark in his marriage, struggling to connect with his teenage daughter.

Excellent novel on SO many levels
One the BEST novels, ever! A Father's love and time travel too. Character driven with great emotion. Doctor Who and Star Trek are mentioned a few times. Moving and heartfelt. Can't say enough about how great this book is.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
