TRAVELS

The Complete First Saga — Volumes 1–5

"The past called. He showed up."

The Saga at a Glance

Xebb's Travels follows Xebb — a wisecracking temporal adventurer from St. Louis — who discovers a wrist-mounted device called the Chrono-Band, powered by a mysterious crystalline energy source known as $TMAC (Temporal Matter at Absolute Concentration). Each jump through time fractures reality a little more, and Xebb must navigate the chaos he creates while a shadowy figure known only as "The Rug" hunts him across the centuries.
