A Footstep Echo J D Sanderson

Who is the Mystery Girl? Bernard Abbey's life was routine, stagnant, and lonely. That all changed the day she entered his life. To save him from being killed, a mysterious young woman transports Bernard to another point in time. As he comes to grips with what has happened, Bernard realizes his new friend is unable to speak. She cannot tell him who she is, where she came from, or how she can travel through time. Even worse, she's unable to tell him what is chasing her. As the mystery girl takes Bernard across time, they cross paths with strangers claiming to know her. Grappling with conflicting versions of her origin, the only thing he knows for certain is that the fate of humanity's idyllic future is somehow connected with his new companion. "Sanderson blew my temporally-frazzled mind multiple times as the battle ranged from past to present ... and even in-between." - William F. Aicher - Author of 'The Unfortunate Expiration of Mr. David S. Sparks' "I especially liked the story arc and development of the main character, Bernard, whose life has been at something of a standstill since the death of his wife. That all changes when a mysterious young woman comes into his life and Bernard finds himself in the midst of adventures he never imagined he would have." - GSMC Book Review Podcast
