Amira's Gambit

Part I in the exciting Time Control Trilogy!

Humanity is screwed.

In 2334, the surface of the planet is a hostile wasteland, ravaged by megastorms. Reckless universe fracking and excessive genetic enhancement have left 99.9% of human beings sterile.

Time is running out and humankind must choose: Save Earth or abandon it.

As leader of a rag tag group of rebels who’ve resisted science and its excesses for hundreds of years, Amira is willing to do anything to rescue her people and fight for what’s left of humanity. Unfortunately, the cost of preventing the end of life as they know it means embracing the very thing that Amira’s family and tightly-knit society has always fought against: technology. It also means partnering with the enemy to find the elusive scientist who could save their planet from destruction.

The line between enemies and allies becomes razor thin when planetary extinction is on the line.

Kevin is a Lex Loci, a genetically modified being created for the sole purpose of emotionlessly maintaining order and furthering his human masters’ goals. Unfortunately, those goals—and Kevin’s very existence—are the opposite of everything Amira stands for.

The line between enemies and lovers can be even thinner.

It’s not long before the impossible happens and Amira discovers that she has more in common with Kevin than she ever dreamed possible….
