About the Book

A city built on dark matter. A machine that can reach into the past. A future already running out of time.

In the UN-built city of New Hope, dark matter has changed everything. It powers the city, extends life, and fuels technologies the rest of the world can barely understand.

Rebecca Dawn works inside that system as a data analyst at Forever Young. Her job is to find patterns. Failures. Things that do not belong.

Then she finds one.

A hidden anomaly points to a catastrophe no one wants to admit is coming. As Rebecca digs deeper, she uncovers a conspiracy involving a stolen time machine, a revolutionary movement, and a buried truth about the city’s impossible power source.

To stop what is coming, Rebecca must enter the past herself.

But the further she reaches, the more the future begins to fracture around her. Every answer reveals another cost. Every choice narrows the path forward. And saving the world may mean losing the very future she is trying to protect.

Time’s New Dawn is a hard-science time-travel thriller about consequence, sacrifice, and the terrible price of changing the past.

For readers who enjoy Blake Crouch, Andy Weir, Interstellar, and high-concept science fiction where the rules matter.
