The Anomaly: A Time-Phase Slip

Four lives. Three centuries. Four deaths

"Reminded of Alfred Bester and Fritz Leiber, with heroic yet pragmatic characters worthy of Heinlein. This may be his best yet." Alastair Mayer, Author of The T-Space Series

A Waystation temporal agent's recall beacon fails. He doesn't die—he propagates, his consciousness scattering forward through time, embedding in successive human hosts, each unaware of what they carry.

Jax Harlan dies in vacuum in the asteroid belt, never understanding his visions. Mira Thorne recognizes a stranger's death as her own on a research sub beneath Europa's ice. Kai Okafor walks into lethal electromagnetic fire to save a million colonists on Proxima b. On a starship in deep interstellar space, Asha Dey remembers all three lives—and chooses to end the chain on her own terms.

Meanwhile, Waystation fractures: was the anomaly a malfunction to be corrected, or a series of people with rights?

Hard science fiction becoming something harder: a meditation on what it costs to persist.
