Publisher's summary

This hard sci-fi novel is the second book of the Time-Flow Stories, a series of tales about Witt Ryllin, a young man who abruptly gains the ability to psychically control the flow of time. It’s also the fifth story in a combined series of tales that begins with the novelette Porter and the two Blindspot Stories.

In this book, by luck of the draw, Witt and Hax Buchry become roommates in their college athletic dorm. Through that connection, Witt meets Hax’s sister Roni (you’ve hopefully met Roni and Hax and learned about their talents in the Blindspot books).

Elsewhere in the dorm, Witt encounters Maja, an orphaned refugee from Cyreea (similar to Syria in our parallel universe).

Recognizing the power of the many psychic talents they have between them, Witt, Roni, and Hax wonder whether they could use those abilities to rescue Maja’s brother and uncle from their desperate circumstances in Cyreea.

Meanwhile, Hax’s playing football and Roni’s hacking computers. Allie/Eva’s leading her band, Eve of Destruction. And Witt’s running track, excelling at math, and meeting Allie/Eva while playing music on street corners.

Can they come together to make a difference in their world?

Horrendous Pronunciations Ruined This

As far as the Audible version is concerned, everyone involved should be embarrassed by the pronunciations. Without being able to read the words, I thought the countries referenced were fake. How is it possible that the author, the editor, the sound editor, and everyone else who gave this the thumbs up did not know how to pronounce Syria or Damascus? My head almost exploded having to listen to Robin Coppock say Sci-ree-a. Damn-a-cuss wasn’t much better. I was mystified. I was embarrassed for all involved. Horrifying.
