After the sudden death of his father, Miles Peterson inherits Peterson's Store-All, a quiet family-owned storage facility in the small town of Longshire, Georgia.
While sorting through his father's belongings, Miles discovers something that shouldn't exist-a hidden storage unit marked 000.
Inside is an ancient stone, a letter that shatters everything he believed about his family, and a secret powerful enough to rewrite history itself.
As strangers dressed in clothes from another time begin appearing around town, Miles realizes he isn't the only one searching for the stone. A ruthless man with ties to a centuries-old mystery will stop at nothing to claim it, and anyone standing in his way becomes a target.
With his best friend Nolan by his side, Miles must uncover the truth behind his father's past, the mysterious Unit 000, and a power that blurs the line between life, death, and time itself.
But changing the past comes with a price...
And some mistakes were never meant to be undone.

This story is about making choices, choices that may not make sense in the beginning. Miles seemed to feel like he didn’t really belong. His father, Keith, didn’t’ really hang out with him and do father son things. The thing is, he didn’t know how. Keith has seen a lot and done more than most people. He was a kind soul and always went out of his way to help others.However, on that night tragedy stuck and changed the lives of Miles and Keith in ways unimaginable. How do you turn back the hands of time? Miles has stumbled across that very thing but what will it cost him?
Unit 000 was not what I was expecting and I really enjoyed the story. It was written in a way that made it effortless for read, and I couldn’t put it down until the end. I’m hoping there will be more to read about this stone and the keepers.
Unit 000 is a fascinating blend of psychological suspense, science fiction, and mystery that kept me questioning what was real and what wasn’t. I loved how Rickey Powell explored memory, loss, identity, and truth while gradually revealing secrets that made the story increasingly compelling. The twists added an unpredictable edge, and the emotional depth made the journey feel much more meaningful than a typical thriller. It’s the kind of book that stays in your mind even after the final page. Rickey Powell has created a truly intriguing story with plenty of imagination and atmosphere. I hope he continues writing because readers who enjoy thought provoking, reality bending stories will certainly want to see what he creates next.
