From Orson Scott Card, the internationally bestselling author of
Ender's Game, comes the second novel in the Pathfinder trilogy, the
riveting story of Rigg, a teenager who possesses a special power that
allows him to see the paths of people's pasts.
When Rigg and his friends crossed the Wall between the only world they
knew and a world they could not imagine, he hoped he was leading them to
safety. But the dangers in this new wallfold are more difficult to see.
Rigg, Umbo, and Param know that they cannot trust the expendable,
Vadesh--a machine shaped like a human, created to deceive--but they are
no longer certain that they can even trust one another. But they will
have little choice. Because although Rigg can decipher the paths of the
past, he can't yet see the horror that lies ahead: A destructive force
with deadly intentions is hurtling toward Garden. If Rigg, Umbo, and
Param can't work together to alter the past, there will be no future.
The adventure, suspense, and time travel continue in this second
installment in the critically acclaimed New York Times and Publishers
Weekly bestselling Pathfinder series.
