The Official Description: For Ben Sanders—traitor, thief, and temporal orphan—time is running out.
After three years as a fugitive, with the police task force led by Lysander O’Donohue and Jacob Ofori hot on his heels, Ben has to resort to desperate measures to evade capture and find the key to locating his missing father, lost in time for over two decades. With secrets and conspiracies at every turn, the net grows ever tighter around him.

This series was a great ride! Time travel, missing family members, spies… and a lot of twists!- Kinzie Things
My thoughts bit: This is the final installment in Lewis’ “Out of Time” series. I have enjoyed this series, and this final novel is no exception to that.
This part of the series focusses on Ben Sanders. He’s still on the run, hiding from his friends and colleagues and more significantly he is separated from his lover, Enoch. Enoch has stayed with the Time Institute… with a mission of keeping an eye on Matt.
There are a lot of characters in this series and most of them appear in this final installment. It’s nice because Lewis has put a real effort into tying up all the storylines – one way or another. Ben Saunders remains one of my favorite characters. He’s been single-minded about finding his father. For three years he’s been on the run, trying to understand where his father disappeared and why he hasn’t been able to track him down. His character is interesting not just because of his focus on his father’s disappearance, he also suffers from PTSD. He’s plagued by nightmares and an intense fear fo the dark.
The relationship between Enoch and Ben is endearing and engaging. I really wanted them to be able to find happiness. I attribute that to great writing by Lewis… the characterizations in this series are great. Ben and Enoch have found each other in spite of time and history and whatever is in the future.
Read the entire series! the time commitment is well worth it. If you’re like me and like knowing that you’re sitting down to begin a novel that is the first in a delectable series then this is one you will want to pick up.
