Fast-paced and fun to read, Joshua Fagan's Misdial gives us a sharp new redux on one of science fiction's bedrocks: time travel. -Endy Wright, author of The Omicron Six, Blood for the Fisher King, and The Garden Plot Diaries
Misdial by Joshua Fagan is a gripping science fiction thriller that explores the unforeseen consequences of time manipulation. When Calvin Reese stumbles upon a peculiar phone capable of dialing into the past, he envisions a swift path to wealth. However, this extraordinary device harbors a perilous history. Its inventor, Monty, intended it for benevolent purposes, but his affluent brother, Rob, had more sinister ambitions. Monty's attempt to safeguard the phone led to his tragic demise, leaving his daughter, Mia, to grapple with the aftermath.
As Calvin delves deeper into the phone's capabilities, he becomes entangled in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse. Rob, relentless in his pursuit, is prepared to go to any lengths to seize the device, even if it means eliminating anyone in his way. Calvin must navigate a treacherous landscape where each call to the past could alter the future in unpredictable ways.
Fagan masterfully weaves themes of ambition, family loyalty, and the ethical dilemmas of tampering with time. The narrative is both fast-paced and thought-provoking, keeping readers on the edge of their seats as they ponder the moral complexities of rewriting history.
Misdial is not just a tale of technological marvels but a profound exploration of human desires and the lengths individuals will go to achieve their goals. It's a must-read for fans of science fiction and thrillers alike, offering a fresh perspective on the timeless allure of changing one's destiny.
