Synopsis

Would you change reality for love?

Morally complex, orphan, and absolute genius Vincent Abajian is hellbent to uncover all he can on Artificial Intelligence. His relentless pursuit distracts him from a traumatic childhood loss—his childhood best friend Akane was engulfed in a time-turbulence, a random rift in space and time.

But when a beautiful, temperamental, post-doctoral scientist, Emika Amari, joins his Center, everything changes. Vincent is convinced that Akane is inside the irresistible Emika. As they begin a life together, Vincent’s past and his connection with a time turbulence survivor challenge everything they’ve created and push them into a spiral of politics and conspiracy. Vincent’s silence to protect Emika threatens to tear them apart. Unknowingly, Emika is torn between what she wants and what Akane wants from her. With his newfound power, Vincent struggles with whether or not he should create another time-turbulence to free Emika from the grasp of Akane once and for all. But will tinkering with time be more destructive than anything he has ever encountered before?

Author Biography

Dr. Avi Datta is the award-winning author of the best-selling Time Corrector series. Adept at weaving masterful plots that employ non-linear storytelling as well as fantastical plot devices and other-worldly concepts, Avi’s writing resists the confines of a singular category. Instead, he uses his eclectic interests and academic fortitude to create masterfully intricate tales packed with as much imagination as critical details.

Through the Time Corrector series, Avi challenges the core assumption that causality and time are linear, which allows him to explore human emotions of love, loss, friendship, and artistic passion with the same unique perspective he applies to the intricacies surrounding politics, racism, alternate realities, music, and artificial intelligence.

A Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship at Illinois State University, beyond his research, teaching, and fiction writing, Avi is an avid painter, watch collector, and coffee enthusiast who is inspired by a wide range of music, from classic rock to classical.

Book Excerpt

The Winding

I do not know or care if the bullies were racists. All I knew was that when I was hurt, Akane rescued me—through her music and her love. Growing up, I’d never felt the warmth of a home. But then she’d been my home. Her large glittering eyes and bewitching smile were the closest to a feeling of family that I’d had. On that day, I didn’t know how to repay her warmth and love. And then, just a few days later, she was gone forever.

When I finally realized how my feelings had bloomed, seven years had passed since she left. She was gone before I could fully know her. A gaping void remained in my heart that longed to know her beyond her warmth and her sweet, kind face. I spent my life moving from one place to another, carrying her violin, scarf, and that photo frame. They became fragments of a soul that I could not stop loving. And, with time, they became a part of mine.
