This is a FREE prequel eBook.
In the 23rd century, Maxwell Bahn believes time manipulation is reckless, dangerous and unforgiving.
Fresh from university and desperate to prove his worth, Bahn accepts a posting to a remote research base buried deep within the asteroid belt. Officially, Project Clean Sweep is about discovery, longevity and the future of humanity. Unofficially, nothing about Hygiea is what it seems.
A hidden military programme.
An impossible alien presence.
And a quiet caretaker called Primus who knows far more than any man should.
As Bahn uncovers the truth behind Project Dominion and the alien Threnn, he is forced to confront an unthinkable reality. Humanity is not being invaded. It is being tidied away.
Outmatched, outgunned and cut off from Earth, Bahn must make an impossible choice. Fight a vastly superior power, or outthink it. What follows will change him forever and reshape humanity’s future among the stars.
A Ragged Loop in Time is a sweeping science-fiction thriller about power, survival and the dangerous belief that intelligence alone makes us superior.
Some victories save worlds.
Others cost everything.
A science fiction drama of alien infiltration, alternate history, AI evolution, time travel and a desperate fight for survival.
In the 25th century, humans are colonising the solar system, only to discover war awaits their tentative steps towards the stars. Humanity is locked in a desperate battle against the xenophobic and ruthless Draxtyr, alien warlords bent on the annihilation of any race opposing them. As civilisation teeters on the edge of collapse, Earth’s last hope comes in the form of Gideon Prime, a powerful android soldier, created by genius Maxwell Bahn, designed to be the ultimate warrior.
But destiny has other plans.
Gideon Prime infiltrates the Draxtyr’s flagship, the Dominator. During a cataclysmic encounter with the Draxtyr’s War-General, Vastos Kel, an ancient artifact hidden in Kel’s flagship, erupts with cosmic energy. Time itself is shattered.
Vastos Kel awakens in a military field hospital in 1916 France, rescued from the blood-soaked trenches, stranded and wounded. Haunted by memories he thought long buried, Kel begins a brutal climb back to power, using the chaos of World War I as a foundation for a new empire.
Gideon Prime is hurled into an alternate 1944, where the Nazis have won World War II. The world is under Nazi control and the USA, the last outpost of freedom, is about to be overrun and ruled by the dark forces of Nazism. Oppression reigns. Resistance is sporadic and some welcome the opportunity the Nazis bring for self-enrichment. The world teeters on the brink of a frightening era of global tyranny.
Across fractured timelines and broken realities, two enemies seek control of the future. One fights for the survival of the human race. The other, domination over all humanity.
Gideon must adapt to a world he was never meant for, forging uneasy alliances with rebels, spies, and heroes, as he races to mend the past before history is rewritten beyond repair. But time is unraveling, and the final confrontation will decide not just the fate of two men, but of all mankind.
Brace yourself for an epic odyssey through the twisted corridors of time, where the line between man and machine blurs, and every moment could be humanity’s last.
The Ragged Edge of Time - A science fiction adventure in time and space.
The sequel to The Ragged Edge of Time.
Gideon Prime will break every rule of time to find his lost love, Callie.
The Nomali, humanity’s forgotten kin, have returned with a message: Help us… or join us in extinction.
AI Sam has downloaded herself to an Android soldier, and has joined Gideon's quest for the truth about humanity.
And not forgetting the Draxtyr, the Xenophobic warrior race who have decided Earth is a threat, that must be annihilated.
Love, betrayal, and the unraveling of reality collide at the ragged end of time.
Humanity has reached the stars, only to discover the universe is already spoken for. Every world, every civilisation, has staked its claim, and none of them are in the mood for peace. When the fragile alliance known as the Terran Expansion begins to fracture, Callie McKenzie and Gideon Prime are pulled once more into the impossible: time itself has started to twist.
A signal from the distant past warns of a catastrophe that will erase the timeline. To prevent it, Callie and Gideon must navigate a paradox of their own making, crossing the centuries in a desperate attempt to mend what they once broke. But the deeper they go, the less certain reality becomes, because someone, or something, is rewriting history from within the timestream.
As worlds fall and the laws of physics buckle, one truth becomes clear: time was never linear, and destiny was never theirs to command.
In this final chapter of The Ragged trilogy, love, sacrifice, and the nature of existence itself are tested against the ultimate question, what if time doesn’t want to be saved?
"Time travel isn’t a game,
it’s a weapon."
The universe, he knows,
punishes arrogance.
The war for the future has already begun, sixty-five million years in the past.
The universe is already spoken for.
