What if time itself became your prison? Seven Steps to the Sun is a gripping science fiction thriller in which a man inexplicably finds himself transported through time, lurching forward in discrete jumps across the twentieth century, unable to stop, unable to return, and utterly at the mercy of forces he cannot comprehend. Each leap forward strips him of everyone he knows and thrusts him into an increasingly alien version of the world he once called home, building a relentless sense of dread and disorientation that makes the familiar terrifyingly strange. Co-authored by the legendary astrophysicist Sir Fred Hoyle and his son Geoffrey Hoyle, the novel harnesses genuine scientific imagination to underpin its speculative premise, grounding the fantastical in a rigorous, almost clinical logic. The elder Hoyle — one of the twentieth century's most formidable scientific minds — brings a cosmological grandeur to the narrative, while the collaboration produces a taut, page-turning momentum that recalls the finest tradition of British science fiction. The book stands as a compelling meditation on identity, mortality, and the irreversibility of time, leaving the reader to wonder: if the future is inevitable, is there any such thing as free will?
