The Third Rule of Time Travel

di Philip Fracassi (Autore)

Orbit, 2025

How do you fight for someone you love if they don't exist? Scientist Beth Darlow is at the peak of her career when she discovers a way for human consciousness to travel through time - to any point in the traveller's lifetime - and relive moments of their life. An epic breakthrough to be sure, but it's not perfect: the traveller has no way to alter, or control, the outcome; they can only observe. After Beth's husband, Colson, the co-creator of the machine, dies in a tragic car accident, Beth is left to raise Isabella--their only daughter--and continue the work they started. Mired in grief, Beth decides to travel back in time to find Colson and prove the value of the machine. But with each trip she takes, her own timeline begins to warp. Beth continues the experiments at a rapid pace, pushing herself to the limit. But after one fateful experiment, Beth returns to find her reality altered to a horrifying extent. Isabella has ceased to exist. Beth must do whatever it takes, pushing the limits of science and the hidden rules of the universe itself, to change her reality once more, and bring Isabella back before she is lost to her forever. A sci-fi thriller that packs an emotional punch from Bram Stoker award nominated Philip Fracassi, perfect for fans of The Space Between Worlds and Severance.
