It was his 21st birthday, a day he prepared for all of this life. His father and mother had taught him all of his life that he was special, that he possessed a unique gift, or curse, handed from every other generation to the next since his fourth Grandfather. Reaching for the amulet he has hanging around his neck, he looks intently at the Aztec engravings. The piece has a fierce-looking face and what appears to be an Aztec calendar. He had endured countless hours in weapons and martial arts training. He had read hundreds of books on history and geography. He was fluent in half a dozen languages, including English, German, Spanish, French, Chinese, and Ute Indian. All of his training did not prepare him for what happened in the past few minutes. He was not ready to know how it would feel to take a human life. He felt a wave of nausea come over him, and his stomach began to heave. This young man had just made his first jump in time. His name is Travis Robert Frost, the son of James and Emily Frost of Pleasant Grove, Utah. The gift of time travel skipped every other generation, and now he was "the Traveler." Time travel, on this occasion, was more than just his first jump. His very existence and the lives of many others are at the mercy of him completing the task he has accepted. He must find and save the life of Robert LeRoy Frost, His 5th Great Grandfather. The journey Travis takes will lead him to the Sacred Mine of the Utes, Carre Shim Ob. Indians will confront him, gold thieves, relatives living in 1876, 1811, 1869, and Paris in 1920. He will find and lose love, hunt fugitives with Orin Porter Rockwell, and more. He will find that living in his own time, 2040, will be the best of times.
