A Lifetime Between the Seconds

di Janson Davies (Autore)

Janson Davies, 2026

When disgraced aerospace engineer Douglas Forrester loses his job after the collapse of Tel-Vector Aerospace, he returns home with nothing left but an unfinished experiment in his basement — a machine built to observe time from the outside. Instead, he breaks it. In one catastrophic instant, Douglas traps the world inside a single frozen moment. Cars hang in traffic. Water stops falling. Birds hover mid-flight. Hospitals, streets, homes, and entire cities are locked between one second and the next — while Douglas alone remains able to move. Then something else moves with him. Her name is Loralie, a surveyor from beyond human understanding, sent to investigate impossible violations of causality. She warns Douglas that the rupture has drawn the attention of the Wardens, vast entities that preserve the coherence of reality by excising whatever threatens it. If Douglas cannot repair what he has done, the Wardens may erase not only him, but everything caught inside the stopped world. As the frozen planet begins to fracture under the weight of deferred time, Douglas must confront more than physics. He must face the life he avoided, the people he abandoned, and the terrifying possibility that saving the world may leave no one who remembers he did. A Lifetime Between the Seconds is a thoughtful, high-stakes sci-fi thriller about time, consequence, sacrifice, and the quiet courage of doing the right thing when no one is watching.
