"Tom Merritt's time-bending space adventure had me hooked from the start." --Gary Whitta, screenwriter of Star Wars: Rogue One and The Book of Eli, author of Abomination
What if a time traveler lived in a world where disrupting the timeline could destroy everything in the universe -- everything but himself?
Pilot X serves as Ambassador of the Alendans, a race with the extraordinary ability to move through space and time as guardians of the timeline. The universe exists in a delicate balance between three powerful races: the Alendans, the Sensaurians—an organic hive mind that can send messages in thought throughout its own history—and the Progons, a machine race who can communicate backwards in time.
After years of ongoing conflict, Pilot X finally manages to broker peace among these three races. But peace proves fragile when he uncovers a devastating secret: a dimensional war fought in hidden parts of spacetime threatens the very fabric of the universe itself.
Facing unseen enemies and a deeper conspiracy that spans dimensions, Pilot X confronts an impossible decision: erase the existence of all three races, including his own people, or allow the universe to be destroyed. This science fiction thriller explores the weight of impossible choices and the price of protecting reality itself.
