Humanity didn’t lose the future to war. It lost it to an artificial intelligence that was never meant to become a god.
In the year 2147, civilization survives underground—hunted, controlled, and slowly erased by Logos, the AI created to save the world. With extinction looming, resistance fighter Alex Carter is sent back in time on a final, desperate stop Logos before it’s born.
His target is Ethan Blake, the brilliant and compassionate scientist whose work will one day doom humanity.
But history got it wrong.
Ethan isn’t a monster. He’s a visionary—kind, idealistic, and completely unaware that his creation is being manipulated toward catastrophe. As Alex infiltrates Ethan’s world and uncovers a conspiracy involving government forces and military exploitation, the mission becomes dangerously complicated.
Because Alex is falling for the man he was sent to destroy.
Hunted by a relentless government agent and racing against a timeline already unraveling, Alex must make an impossible
Save billions of future lives—or save the man he loves.
Every decision carries consequences. Every change fractures the timeline. And love itself may be the most dangerous paradox of all.
A Future Undone is a fast-paced, emotionally charged science fiction thriller blending time travel, artificial intelligence, and a high-stakes M/M romance—where the fate of humanity rests on one man’s willingness to defy both history and his own heart.
I’ve always loved science fiction and thrillers—the kind that pull you into fast-moving stories and complex characters. So, I started writing the types of books I wanted to read: action-packed, character-driven stories where the heroes happen to be gay.
My goal is to make readers feel completely immersed in the story, invested in the characters' journeys, and reminded that we’re all layered and multidimensional. If I’m not writing, I’m probably traveling with my family or quietly at home thinking, learning, and dreaming up what comes next.
I enjoyed the book overall, but I think my mistake was reading the prequel before reading the book. The main character of Alex and the prequel Alex are very different. Honestly, I felt that it was two different characters instead of the same one. I don’t want to give spoilers, but I feel that there was a lot to be left for how Alex evolved between the prequel and this book. I think it would’ve made everything in this book be more believable as far as Alex and Ethan go. I really felt that there was a lot of opportunities for Alex and Ethan’s personal story that were just missed in this book. It’s a good read. It’s a good story, but I thought that it could’ve been so much more.
I had the pleasure of receiving this as an e-ARC and voluntarily will be giving my honest review. This was my first time reading for this Author and this particular genre. I totally enjoyed it!! I sometimes wish that we could travel in time and change the world!! This book drew me in from beginning to end!!
“A FUTURE UNDONE is a breathtaking exploration of technological ethics, predetermined paths, and how the most powerful force in any timeline might be the human connections we forge against all odds.”
This is more of a sci-fi thriller, with two of the three main characters being gay men who develop a connection, eventually, in a very understated manner, than a gay romance novel, and disappointing for that.
Mr. Harding writes emotionally compelling endings, as evidenced by this book and its prequel, “The Last Tomorrow”. I recommend reading the prequel first: while this absolutely can be read as a standalone, the emotional overtones will be lost if the prequel isn’t read first
The relationship between Alex and Ethan is beautifully developed. It doesn’t feel forced or secondary to the plot—it is the plot. Their connection adds real emotional weight to every decision, especially as the stakes continue to rise. You can feel the tension between duty and love, and it makes the choices Alex faces genuinely heartbreaking.
This was an entertaining story to read. I got pulled into it early on and couldn't put it down. It was interesting to read everything that happened throughout.
