With the whole of human history altered, Denny Younger may be the last rewinder in existence—and the last person on earth with a chaser unit capable of time travel. While caring for his ailing sister, Denny must discover a way to recharge his device before he’s left with no defense against a past that wants him dead.

Before long, Denny notices a mysterious stranger following him—keeping tabs on Denny, his family, and his friends. Is Denny just paranoid? Or maybe he isn’t alone in this new reality after all…

When his chaser is stolen and his girlfriend is kidnapped, Denny risks everything to get both of them back. Launched into a high-stakes chase that spans continents and millennia, Denny’s responsibility to save our future isn’t over yet. It will take all of his cunning to stop a threat capable of steering the fate of the human race into disaster.

Rewinder

I had the great joy of getting to read book 1, Rewinder, and then getting to jump right into Destroyer, within minutes. I have loved time travel books since I read The Man Who Folded Himself back in the '70's.

The only other book that was close to these was The Time Traveler's Wife. 

This series is action packed and I was totally unable to put it down. The story could have ended with Rewinder as there was a definite ending to it. Destroyer leaves you with more of a cliffhanger that will leave you anticipating at least one more book in this series. This book is also an alternate history dystopian and has just a touch of romance. You totally need to have read book 1 to enjoy this book (which was fabulous).  It's a relatively quick read at only 252 pages, so just the right size for YA readers.
