In this first chapter of The Passenger, Tate Addison has ventured to the desolate shoreline of Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands, only to be caught up in a raging tide of space and time. Pulled kicking and screaming out to sea, Tate is on course to be an unwitting passenger aboard the SS American Star, a broken shipwreck that will become the first of many rides he will take to get where he's going... wherever the ultimate destination might be.
