Hi,
I read a book in 1993 while traveling the US by train and i accidently forgot the book on a train one night. I never got to finish it, and it has been bugging me since then...
A guy in Michigan gave it to me to read on the train, an I never took notice of the author unfortunatly.
Maybe someone can help me figure out the author or maybe the title of the book.
It's been a while, so my details might be abit fuzzy.
The things i remember is the following.
The lead character was an outcast from his hometown.
He had regenerative powers, couldn't be killed. Chop of an arm, it would grow back. I believe it started with him beeing imprisoned on a ship at sea. (Not 100% sure though)
Through his travels he adapted alot of powers.
He could speed up/slow down time.
I remember him meeting the people who taught him that, and they had a "statue" in their village, it was a lady that slowed down time so much for herself that she was like a statue, she had been like that for a loooong time.
I believe that he learned to either talk to or travel through the earth.
If I am not misstaking, he could "sink into" the earth and travel through it.
If he fell from a cliff, earth would "catch" him.
I know these are vague details, but i am hoping someone can tell me what the book is... I really want to finish it.
True, I was 12-13 years younger, but i remember that i was captured by the book, and this is the only book i never finished!
If possible, please send me a mail!
Thanks!
