Baba never expected to inherit a starship. He was a grocery produce clerk on a forgotten outpost, drifting through a quiet life of modest expectations. Then a lawyer handed him the keys to the Bounty-a battered interstellar hauler with a loyal crew, a mysterious past, and a First Mate named Hana who is far more than shipboard machinery. At first, Baba only wants to keep the business alive. Learn the ship. Earn the Wings. Prove he can become something more than the life he was leaving behind.
Then, a client offers the Bounty a contract unlike any other: travel beyond the familiar routes and recover the radio echoes of a world believed dead. Not artifacts. Not ruins. Broadcasts. Voices. Music. News. Stories. The ordinary record of an entire civilization, still moving through the dark. What begins as salvage becomes something far more intimate. As the crew listens, the lost world becomes real. Its inhabitants stop being data. Its suffering becomes impossible to ignore. And when recovered memory can be turned into entertainment, Baba, his client, and his crew must confront the cost of hearing what was never meant to be found.
Arrow of Time is a warm, reflective science-fiction novel about found family, inherited purpose, artificial intelligence, memory, grief, and the fragile traces every life leaves behind. Some echoes can't be unheard.
