“Masters of the Broken Watches filters time, myth, science, and philosophy through the taut structure of a political thriller, gaining momentum with each chapter, as its scientists urgently investigate an almost inexplicable bending of the curve of time.” –Harold Augenbraum American writer, former Executive Director of the National Book Foundation and Raven Award winner.
When you’re in a near-death experience, people say time slows down. What if time does actually slow down? Or when people experience being at the right place at the right time. What if one could predict with certainty that right time and place?
Sebastian Miles, an adventure-loving, risk-taking marine biologist accidentally discovers a new species that has the power to change the way we humans experience time. While performing research, he and his team are shocked by a logic-defying phenomenon–where during one experiment the world outside their lab jumps ahead by twenty-two hours. News of this discovery soon reaches the heads of powerful governments and inadvertently triggers a global hunt to capture and control Sebastian and his team, their research, and the species. These leaders know that this one discovery would pivot the power equation and the group that controls this species will have access to the greatest resource mankind has ever seen – Time. Sebastian and his team attempt to stay one step ahead of their pursuers, but are they willing to risk their lives—in order to share their discovery with all mankind?
This genre-bending novel leaves readers on the edge of their seat. Thrilling like Blake Crouch and science-driven like Ted Chang, yet approached like you’ve never seen before. A captivating adventure that never slows down and makes you appreciate the scientific landscape of our world today. $0.99 on Kindle.
