In 2040, time travel is no longer a theory-it's a government-regulated industry. For $75,000, anyone can spend twenty-four hours anywhere in the past, provided they follow the rules and are accompanied with a time security guard that makes sure the past is not altered.
James Carmichael is a time manager who has spent years processing travel requests for the United States Time Department, watching life pass him by while his career stalls. But when travelers from the future suddenly stop arriving for over two weeks-an event that should be impossible-James finds himself at the center of a mystery that threatens the very foundation of time itself.
As rumors of government conspiracies, hidden agendas, and historical tampering spread, James joins a team of time security officers to uncover the truth. Their investigation leads them to a far distant past to find the reclusive inventor of time travel, a man who disappeared into the past to escape the consequences of his creation.
With the future unraveling by the day, James must race through time to stop an unseen enemy before history is rewritten forever. Because if time travel disappears, humanity's future may vanish with it.
A high-stakes science fiction thriller blending time travel, government bureaucracy, conspiracy, and world-ending consequences.
