The Far Traveler

Sometimes the greatest journeys are the ones that take you back to where it all began.

In The Far Traveler, legendary author A. Bertram Chandler once again brings Captain John Grimes into uncharted territory—this time, across galaxies and timelines. This gripping science fiction adventure blends deep space exploration with introspective time-travel twists, pushing the limits of identity, memory, and fate.

Grimes boards the mysterious starship Far Traveler, expecting another routine mission. But the ship has other plans. It drifts not just across space, but into alternate realities, alternate selves, and long-forgotten choices. Each new jump peels back a different version of Grimes’ past, as he confronts the lives he might have lived—and the consequences of paths not taken.

Is Far Traveler a vessel of destiny or a prison of possibility? With each strange world they encounter, the stakes grow higher, as does the risk of never returning home—or worse, not recognizing it if he does.

Packed with Chandler’s trademark wit, crisp pacing, and naval-styled authenticity, The Far Traveler is not just an interstellar tale—it’s a philosophical journey, one that questions whether the “true self” can survive across infinite versions of reality.
