The story in 1 line: Sometimes it’s the smallest change that causes the biggest ripple.

There are three rules for time traveling:

1. Do not double warp.

2. Do not interact with people from the past.

3. Do not allow the past to catch up to the present.

Unfortunately, Galileo Matox is about to break them all.

Galileo works for ScorpioCorp as a warper, traveling back in time to collect evidence of high-priority crimes. His latest mission? To identify a senator’s murderer. Seems simple enough. 

But everything goes belly up before the mission even begins. Not only does the warp drop Galileo’s team eight days prior to the murder, it also badly injures a teammate. With his best friend quickly bleeding out, Galileo swaps his own warp suit for her damaged one and sends the team back to the present, leaving him stranded in the past.

Enter Avaline: a gifted time-space scientist and daughter of the soon-to-be-dead senator. Galileo negotiates with Avaline (completely shattering Rule #2), and they reach an uneasy truce (which may have involved blackmail). Together, they must find a way to fix the warp suit before the assassination.

However, as the day of the murder draws near, Galileo realizes he may be responsible for the senator’s death. And worse—Avaline’s found a way into his heart. If Galileo ever wants to return home, he’ll have to decide between killing the father of the woman he loves, or starting an interstellar war. After all, sometimes it’s the smallest change that causes the biggest ripple.

 “Inception” meets “Minority Report”, WARPERS is a 90,000 word across-the-galaxy romp that goes hard on the snark and soft on the science.
