About this audiobook
When a catastrophic time-dilation accident at Tessera Labs traps engineer Eli Hale in a steel control chamber, his time effectively stops. Inside the room, one second equals a full day on the outside. For Eli, only three and a half hours will pass. Outside, thirty-five years slip away.
Communicating across this temporal chasm requires extreme sacrifice: every typed word costs weeks of his family’s lives. On the outside, Eli’s nine-year-old daughter, Ariel, grows into a woman, living in the shadow of a father trapped in yesterday. When the aging facility begins to fail, Ariel—now a brilliant scientist—races against a ticking clock to solve an impossible extraction problem before time runs out for good.
The Long Rescue is an intimate, high-concept sci-fi story about grief, sacrifice, and love across decades.
