by Ken Barrett

The year is 2340; nations have fallen, and the world has emptied. In North America, the last remnants of civilization are a few walled city-states ruled by autocrats.In Nash City, Kyle and Lara live a double life. During the day, they work at the technology center as engineers, while at night, they meet with the resistance movement working against the government.In their jobs, they are tasked with building a time machine that their leaders intend to use to alter the past and change the present. But the physics of time travel won’t bend to appease their rulers; those they send back will be trapped in the past, and nothing will change.Fearful of disappointing their leaders and unable to explain their plans to the resistance movement without revealing themselves, Kyle and Lara play both sides against the other, hoping they have enough time for their plan to work.When the rebels issue a contract for their deaths, and a duplicitous friend works against them, their lives are in peril. Escaping the walled city is impossible, and with both sides against them, they are on their own.TimeStorm is an epic three-novel science fiction series set against a dystopian present, the distant past, and a turbulent future. It is a fast-paced story that celebrates innovation, courage, and the undying power of love.

drags

Story is a typical Orwellian fantasy similar to George Orwell’s 1984.
But, it Story line drags slows and the plot is slow to grow.
