A black-clad intruder. An ambush on the way to philosophy class. A full tackle on the way home from Sunday dinner. As a Traveler, Michael Henderson is better than most at running away from trouble-an important skill when the people who want a piece of you mean it literally. But what do you when your troubles can Travel after you? Turns out, it's all in where you run to. A light tale of manners, steam, squirrels, and romance, to say nothing of Maundelson's Finest Patented Engineer's Biscuits.
