Broken Time: A Female Driven Time Travel Apocalyptic Thriller
SILVER MEDAL "RECOMMENDED READ" IN THE 2024 AUTHOR SHOUT READER READY AWARDS.
Is anybody listening?
Dr. Alessi Byrne has spent her life studying spatial anomalies to prove string theory. Her work seems to be nothing more than theoretical research until an anomaly opens over Antarctica and transmits a three-word Is anybody listening?
The message isn’t the only thing to emerge from the anomaly. Something on the other side is having compounding consequences on the planet, and Alessi’s team is unable to crack the code to discover who or what is sending the communication. In desperation, Alessi secretly sends a reply, and the answer questions everything she knows about science, life, and the universe.
Alessi has proven her theories; but at what cost?

mind bending science
I can’t say I understood all of what was happening but I sure had a fun time anyway. This reminded me a bit of the movie Interstallar with multi dimensions and realities crossing. My brain feels a little warped but the story did a great job keeping me engaged.

A solid story
Moorer has taken on a complex backstory in Broken Time that involves something I’ve recently looked into a little—physics, particularly quantum physics, string theory, and the notion of anomalies. Although for some readers it might weigh the storyline down at times as they try to sort out how current theories have been stretched here and there, I appreciate how difficult it can be as a writer to weave those esoteric concepts into a traditional story.
I also like how she tweaks linear time throughout the novel, moving from one moment to the next without any burdensome narration timestamp.
The author weaves Alessi’s past with present and future events, including her struggles with a long-term relationship as a high-powered academic.
And the conflicts with her boss and the various governmental agencies as the crisis looms reflect a common experience with chain of command and decision-making.
One thing I would’ve liked to see more of is how much technology has changed 130 years into the future or why, for example, AI hasn’t evolved that much or been renamed.
All-in-all, Broken Time delivers a solid story.
