Rule One: Travel can only occur to a point within your lifetime.
Rule Two: You can only travel for ninety seconds.
Rule Three: You can only observe.
The rules cannot be broken.
This is not the story you think you know. And the rules are only the beginning.
The Third Rule of Time Travel is a riveting sci-fi thriller that packs an emotional punch from acclaimed author Philip Fracassi, perfect for fans of The Space Between Worlds and Severance.
