Breaking Time

by Casey Henderson

Formerly the government’s finest young superhero, Sam was raised on dreams of flying-car utopia, built with the extraordinary abilities of him and his friends. Now twenty and disillusioned, Sam spends his time hunting down corrupt CEOs and criminal bosses. He doesn’t remember how he got his powers, and nor does he particularly care. Sam’s former employers took his memories when he left, and now he’s happy to wage a one-man-war on the creeping fascism and corporate violence plaguing future Britain. But Sam’s former employers haven’t forgotten about him that easily. They want him and his fellow vigilantes — billionaire philanthropist Liam, activist law student Heather, and mysterious ex-soldier Rosalia - out of the way, and they’ve chosen Sam’s old friends for the job. As the two sets of radically different young people come together, it becomes clear that they remember things very differently, and Sam soon finds himself asking questions. Why is the woman who claims to have been his best friend trying to kill him? Why didn’t she leave with him? And why do the government need him and his friends out of the way now? Sam and his fellow vigilantes just wanted answers. As the country slides towards fascism, they’re about to get a hell of a lot more than that.
