Prepare yourself for a wild ride through time and space.
A Ragged Loop in Time
Deep in the asteroid belt, Maxwell Bahn discovers a hidden truth, humanity has already been classified as a threat to the galaxy.
Like termites in a wall or woodlice beneath the floorboards.
The aliens are not invading, they’re exterminating.
The Solar System is about to be disinfected.
A Ragged Loop in Time is a dark, intelligent sci-fi thriller about first contact, extinction, and the terrifying realisation that mankind is no longer at the top of the food chain.
Dr Rosalind "Roz" Taylor

As scientist, medic and reluctant leader, she reminds her colleagues that survival depends not only on intelligence, but on humanity.
Primus has watched history unfold with the patience of someone who understands that time is never as simple as it seems.
Offering guidance instead of answers, he challenges Maxwell Bahn to see beyond science and discover the wisdom that lies beneath it. Some guardians protect lives. Others protect the future itself.
