Preble Jefferson can see five seconds into the future.

Otherwise, he lives an ordinary life. But when a confrontation with a cop on a New York City subway goes tragically wrong, those seconds give Preble the chance to dodge a bullet--causing another man to die in his place. Government agencies become aware of Preble's gift, a manhunt ensues, and their ambitions shift from law enforcement to military R&D. Preble will do whatever it takes to protect his family, but as events spiral out of control, he must weigh the cost of his gift against the loss of his humanity.

A breathless thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page, The Man Who Saw Seconds explores the nature of time, the brain as a prediction machine, and the tension between the individual and the systems we create. Alexander Boldizar provides an adrenaline-pumping read that will leave you contemplating love, fear and the abyss.

“The Man Who Saw Seconds is one of the more audacious and emo­tionally brutal thrillers I’ve ever read…You wouldn’t think a few seconds of precognition would be that formidable a power, but the author makes a compelling case for how someone could pretty much take over and/or destroy the world if they leveraged the skill properly. The protagonist just wants to live in peace with his family, but that world won’t allow it. This one hit me hard in the dadfeels.”
