Book 1 ● The Depths of Time ● Jeremy Edwin Gage ● 18:12

Time is of the essence when you’re stranded in the future… Humanity is running out of time. The settled universe is filled with terraformed worlds linked by timeshafts — temporal wormholes in deep space. These timeshafts are the only way to travel the vast distances between the stars. The Chronologic Patrol is charged with guarding the timeshaft wormholes and preventing time paradoxes at all costs. But one critical mission ends in disaster, turning Anton Koffield, captain of the “Upholder, ” into a dark legend… As ships carrying relief supplies to a crippled planet approach a timeshaft, they are mercilessly set upon by mysterious attackers — their crews are murdered and the sanctity of time itself is at risk. In response, Koffield is forced to do the unthinkable: he must stop the invasion by destroying the timeshaft. Marooned 80 years in the future, he lives as a cursed figure, the villain who killed a world. And his odyssey through time has only just begun…

Book 2 ● The Ocean of Years ● Jonah Cummings ● 14:53

In a far-flung universe — where history is a timeshaft away — a manhunt begins to determine the future of a world… Oskar DeSilvo was the founder of the planet Solace. As the director of its terraforming project, he literally made the world — but he’s been dead for over a hundred years. Or so Anton Koffield thought. Now, as Solace slides into ecological collapse, Koffield discovers that DeSilvo may still somehow be alive — and that the secrets he holds could save not only Solace but all of humanity. But Koffield has his own reasons to find DeSilvo. Once a decorated officer of the Chronologic Patrol, he now battles against all they stand for to find the man who nearly destroyed him. Driven by a ruthless sense of justice and honor, Koffield takes his crew back through a timeshaft wormhole to a time and a place none of them have ever seen: Earth of the next century. There the search begins. A quest not only to explore the past — but to free the future from the clutches of a genocidal madman…

Book 3 ● The Shores of Tomorrow ● Jonah Cummings ● 17:08

On the verge of extinction, only the gravest imaginable crime against humanity can save it… A bold new plan seeks to ignite a new Sunspot over Greenhouse, saving the habitat domes crucial to the survival of the Solacian people. But a secret clouds this symbol of much-needed hope: human space is contracting at a startling rate, threatening to wipe out all living worlds-including Earth. The only answer lies in the hands of the founder of the planet Solace: Oskar DeSilvo, seemingly returned from the dead to save the worlds his frauds had doomed to destruction. But as the work begins, agents of the Chronologic Patrol step in to prevent interference with the past — even at the risk of dooming humanity. Thwarted at every turn, DeSilvo and his onetime nemesis, Anton Koffield, propose one last wildly grandiose idea — one final, desperate gamble. But if the only choice lies between madness and certain catastrophe — is there any choice at all?
