Wanderlust World Wanderlust World "Across the Sea of Time" is a science fiction novel by American author Greg Bear. It was first published in 1986 by Arbor House.
Blends historical fiction and speculative science: a modern researcher connects with a 17th-century Dutch explorer through a mysterious temporal link. Themes: memory, identity, colonialism, and the fluidity of time.
Praised for literary prose and ambitious structure. Less known than Bear's "Eon" or "Blood Music," but a cult favorite among time-travel aficionados.
