NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Time • NPR • BookRiot
Reality is broken.
At first, it looks like a disease. An epidemic that spreads through no known means, driving its victims mad with memories of a life they never lived. But the force that’s sweeping the world is no pathogen. It’s just the first shock wave, unleashed by a stunning discovery—and what’s in jeopardy is not our minds but the very fabric of time itself.
In New York City, Detective Barry Sutton is closing in on the truth—and in a remote laboratory, neuroscientist Helena Smith is unaware that she alone holds the key to this mystery . . .and the tools for fighting back.
Together, Barry and Helena will have to confront their enemy—before they, and the world, are trapped in a loop of ever-growing chaos.

What Audible Listeners Are Saying
5/5 stars — “Loved it “
Time travel dystopian fire. Couldn’t put it down! Sad I’m finished with it. I also loved Dark Matter & now wondering if I should read wayward pines…— Housepants97, Audible listener
4/5 stars — “Terrible ending”
Great narration and overall the story is interesting. The ending is a big let down.Vague spoiler alert: A major rule of the time traveling mechanic introduced at the beginning of the story is completely retconned for a very Deus ex machina ending.
— James, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “Stelar”
I recommend taking it in one "book"(chapter) at a time. The authors writing style consistently captivates me and this is a perfect example of it. This book is absolutely worth your time— Audible customer, Audible listener
