A starship has been thrown three centuries into the past. Its only hope of returning home is a telepath thirty-six lightyears away on a world that has not yet mastered interstellar travel.
On its maiden voyage, the passenger starship Exeter suffers an impossible navigation failure. Commander Jana Anders and her crewmates emerge near an unexplored planet in the year 2029-almost three and a half centuries before they departed. With no route home and no civilization capable of reaching them, the survivors prepare to establish a colony. Jana refuses to abandon hope, even as their starship's dwindling resources make their exile increasingly permanent.
Thirty-six lightyears away on Earth, astrobiologist Sonja Bellesario searches the stars for evidence of intelligent life while concealing her own telepathic ability. When her research team detects a signal from the region where Exeter is stranded, its unmistakably human content makes it easier for the scientific establishment to dismiss than explain. Sonja cannot prove where it came from, but she remains convinced that someone among the stars is trying to be heard.
More than three centuries later, Jame Anders is investigating the disappearance of Exeter and the loss of his twin sister, Jana. When he activates an experimental machine called the Telpher, it opens a passage across both space and time-and pulls Sonja from her century into his.
As Sonja adapts to an astonishing future and her relationship with Jame deepens, they uncover evidence that Exeter's disappearance was more than a simple accident. Stolen discoveries, scientific ambition, and a changed history point toward a rupture in time that may have created an alternate reality.
Jana's only chance of returning lies in Sonja's long-hidden gift. To reach her, Sonja must attempt something no accepted science can explain: connect two minds separated by thirty-six lightyears and nearly 350 years, then send Jana the knowledge she needs to bring Exeter home.
Telpher: A Time Travel Anomaly opens the Telpher series with interstellar exploration, teleportation, scientific mystery, parallel universes, telepathy, romance, and a rescue attempt spanning the centuries.
