About the Passenger Series

The Passenger series by Alexandra Bracken defies easy categorization as – a time travel series on the surface – but at its heart its a story about real people and the relationships between them , its about the choices we make and how our emotions define us. Etta Spencer’s a young violinist living a fairly ordinary life in New York , but all of that comes crashing down in a pretty shocking way. One minute Etta’s getting ready for some big musical performance and the next she finds herself on a ship in 18th century England – surrounded by danger , people she can’t trust and not a clue what’s going on. As Etta tries to wrap her head around what’s happening she discovers her family’s been involved in time travelling all these years – and that has a pretty profound effect on her perception of her past and her own sense of identity. Things get even trickier when she meets Nicholas Carter , a sailor from a whole different era. Initially they dont exactly get along , but circumstance forces them to team up and from there they become each others primary lifelines as they try to track down a powerful object called the astrolabe – people from all over are willing to kill for it , and it has the power to change the course of history. As the ship sails on to different eras and locations Etta and Nick get separated by time and space. But despite that their bond actually grows stronger with each new adventure – and that’s what gives the books their heart.
