Yet despite its complexity, the book is never less than page-turning. The result is an amalgamation of adventure, politics, and time travel that invokes issues of class and the right to control one's own life. Interwoven is the story of starship captain Ram Odin, whose interspatial jump toward a new colony world results in a bizarre paradox with far-reaching consequences.
Then his father dies suddenly, and Rigg becomes an outcast with his friend Umbo, after Rigg is wrongly blamed for Umbo's brother's death. In one, 13-year-old Rigg is living a contented life with his acerbic and intellectually challenging father as a backcountry trapper, using his magical ability to perceive paths that show the past movements of people and animals anywhere from minutes to thousands of years earlier. He will be forced to question everything he thinks he knows, choose who to trust, and push the limits of his talent…or forfeit control of his destiny.Ĭard entwines two stories in this fascinatingly complex series opener. Rigg’s birthright sets him on a path that leaves him caught between two factions, one that wants him crowned and one that wants him dead. And when Rigg discovers that he has the power not only to see the past, but also to change it, his future suddenly becomes anything but certain. But when his father dies, Rigg is stunned to learn just how many secrets Father had kept from him-secrets about Rigg's own past, his identity, and his destiny. Only his father knows the truth about Rigg's strange talent for seeing the paths of people's pasts. From Orson Scott Card, the internationally bestselling author of Ender’s Game, comes the first novel in the Pathfinder trilogy, the riveting story of Rigg, a teenager who possesses a special power that allows him to see the paths of people’s pasts.
