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.

Enter Emika

The robin flies away. A young woman enters, folding her transparent umbrella. She is shimmering in the sunlight. It’s the same image I saw outside Headmaster Kruger’s office on November 23, 1991. The same song was in the background. Every strand of hair on my arms and neck rises as I see the spitting image of Akane in front of me. Has she come back? Did she find me? And there she is, smiling. That smile—I never thought I’d see it again.

The robin flies away. A young woman enters, folding her transparent umbrella. She is shimmering in the sunlight. It’s the same image I saw outside Headmaster Kruger’s office on November 23, 1991. The same song was in the background. Every strand of hair on my arms and neck rises as I see the spitting image of Akane in front of me. Has she come back? Did she find me? And there she is, smiling. That smile—I never thought I’d see it again. This is Akane, with shorter hair and a beauty mark shifted from the left of her top lip to the right.
