Dan Davis thought the future might be a place where broken things could be made whole again.

Instead, after a devastating betrayal, the brilliant young inventor gives up everything he knows and chooses suspended animation, hoping to wake in a world that feels less cruel. But the future he finds is stranger—and lonelier—than he imagined, and the people and dreams he left behind still haunt him.

Armed with nothing but his wits, his stolen invention, and the steadfast companionship of his cat, Dan is drawn into a journey across time itself. To undo the damage of the past, he’ll have to face the choices that shaped him, the love he can’t quite leave behind, and the question of whether a better future is something you find—or something you build.

Tender, clever, and quietly suspenseful, The Door Into Summer is a timeless story of loss, second chances, and fighting for the life you want.
