Alternate Routes is a 2018 contemporary fantasy novel by Tim Powers. It is the first of a series in which the protagonists are Sebastian Vickery and Ingrid Castine.Four years ago, Sebastian Vickery was a Secret Service agent and Ingrid Castine was a civilian employee of the TUA, a covert unit within the Secret Service exploring the use of supernatural means to gather intelligence. Then Vickery stumbled on a secret that somebody was willing to kill to protect, and was forced to go on the run.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Now, Vickery lives under a new name in Los Angeles, part of the subculture that makes a living from the supernatural properties of LA's freeway system — properties which are also being exploited by the people who want him dead.Castine finds him to deliver a warning: his enemies have found his trail again, and have made putting him out of the way a top priority. They're on the verge of achieving a major breakthrough — one which will have devastating consequences for the city, and possibly the entire world, if it's not stopped.Followed by Forced Perspectives and Stolen Skies. | |

Chekhov's Hobby | |
| Alternate Routes / int_ac5364fe | comment |
Chekhov's Hobby: It's a recurring thing that Vickery and his late wife used to go hang-gliding together, and it's mentioned once near the beginning that he made the hang-gliders himself. The climax of the novel involves him having to build a hang-glider out of improvised materials and with improvised tools in order to escape from the place where he's trapped. | |
