Rex Roberts' Time Travel Adventure Books

Two brothers. One fugitive. A collapsing future. Only the past can save them.

As their homeworld collapses, Coru Wisla and his younger brother Payton escape through a failing time portal—chasing a fugitive whose crimes could erase history itself. Their only lead: a telepath named Wren Wood, believed to be living off-grid in the remote Canadian wilderness.

But Coru lands alone—three centuries in the past, ten years too late—and after a deadly virus that should never have happened...

When Wren ventures into a nearby city, bracing herself against the noisy minds of its citizens, she finds it eerily deserted—everything pointing to an apocalyptic disaster.

Then Coru appears—mysterious, unreadable, and clearly from another world. And somehow, he can keep her out of his head.

Forced to rely on one another, they begin rescuing survivors, forging a fragile off-grid community in Wren's forest hideaway. As trust deepens and genuine affection grows, the group must face a dangerous choice: risk everything to journey south toward a rumored sanctuary… or try to survive alone in the north.

But time is not on their side—and Coru carries a secret that could destroy everything they've built.

For fans of The Stand, The Passage, and One Second After, Lost Sentinel is a clean, emotional, post-apocalyptic time travel adventure about survival, found family, and the fragile hope of starting over.

Two brothers fell through time to save the future.

But one may be its undoing.

Payton Wisla lands hard in 2036 Vancouver—alone, off-target, and far too early. Stranded in a crumbling world with no backup and no way home, he survives Skid Row the only way he can: by adapting, hiding, and preparing for the mission ahead. But ten brutal years change a boy.

At the same moment, but a decade later, Coru Wisla arrives—only to find a fractured future and no sign of his younger brother. With Wren Wood by his side, he leads a small team into the ruins of Vancouver—now called New Pacifica—desperate to find Payton before history takes another wrong turn.

But Payton has changed. Hardened. Brilliant. Dangerous.

And the forces he’s aligned with may already be reshaping the timeline.

In a world unraveling at the seams, one brother must face the truth.

The other must choose who he is… and what he’s willing to destroy.

Cursed Apprentice is the gripping second book in the Earth Survives time travel series—perfect for fans of The Passage, Dark Matter, and One Second After.

He has an army.

They have a cure.

Time is running out.

Safely hidden on Able Island, Moses Zhang prepares to launch his final assault: thousands of virus-programmed soldiers, ready to wipe out the last remaining free zones of Freeland and Raven’s Park. His chilling ultimatum echoes across the ruins—join us, or die.

Wren Wood, Coru Wisla, Nelson, and Dom have stolen the antidote—but at a devastating cost. Now, trapped deep in hostile territory, the team must make an unthinkable choice: split up. One must escape and replicate the cure before Zhang’s army strikes.

As alliances crack and sacrifice becomes survival, a scattered band of rebels must decide who they are—and what they’re willing to risk. The final battle won’t be won by governments or generals. It will be won by ordinary people who refuse to surrender.

Time travel sparked the war. But only courage can end it.

Deadly Messenger is Book Three of the Earth Survives time travel series—perfect for readers who love high-stakes dystopian adventures with found family, fierce hope, and no easy answers.

Three destinies.

The end begins where it all began—on Able Island.

Armed with a hand-drawn map and a mission he may not survive, Coru Wisla slips away from Freeland. His goal is clear: find Moses Zhang and end the war—even if it means sacrificing everything, including the life he’s built with Wren.

But Able Island holds more than Zhang’s final weapon. It hides a secret.

Aiko Zhang has spent her life isolated in a lab, part prisoner, part experiment. As whispers of rebellion stir outside her walls, she uncovers the truth about her past—and her role in a future she never chose.

Meanwhile, Wren Wood, stripped of her telepathy and shattered by loss, should run north to recover. But a powerful message pulls her south—to the watery caves beneath Able Island, and into the final battle for time itself.

What Wren and Coru uncover will upend everything they believed about Zhang… about time travel… and about each other.

Even the end of the world can be rewritten.

Righteous Pretender is the breathtaking final book in the Earth Survives time travel series—a story of redemption, sacrifice, and the courage to defy fate.
