UNTANGLE THE PAST TO SAVE THE FUTURE. A NEW NOVEL IN THE WORLD OF THE BEST-SELLING THE GORDIAN PROTOCOL

TIME IS RUNNING OUT

Agent Raibert Kaminski and the crew of the Transtemporal Vehicle Kleio have made a shocking discovery out in the unknown reaches of the multiverse. They've stumbled across a temporal implosion that has claimed two whole universes, and neither Raibert nor his crew can figure out what caused this calamity other than it had something to do with reckless time travel.

The Kleio speeds back to their home universe of SysGov with this dire report, but an audacious plan is put into effect before they arrive. Old colleagues of Raibert's from the Antiquities Rescue Trust, together with a version of Samuel Pepys transplanted from the 17th century into the 30th, have proposed an expedition into the past. Their goal? To branch the timeline by preventing the Plague of Justinian, one of the worst pandemics in human history.

Meanwhile, SysGov's multiverse neighbor, the xenophobic Admin, is stirring. While their ambassadors put on a friendly show, the Admin is amassing a fleet of advanced, heavily armed time machines with SysGov firmly in the crosshairs.

Time is running out for Raibert and his team. But the crew of the Kleio won't go down without a fight, no matter where — or when — the threat to their home comes from.

David Weber

David Weber is a name that resonates deeply with science fiction fans, particularly those captivated by expansive space operas and intricate world-building. Known for his ability to weave complex narratives with unforgettable characters, Weber has carved out a unique niche in the genre, blending military strategy, political intrigue, and personal drama into epic tales that span galaxies.

Born in 1952, David Weber’s journey into writing was driven by a lifelong fascination with history, military strategy, and the mechanics of warfare. These interests are reflected in his books, where battles aren't just about the clash of forces, but about the minds behind them. His characters, often thrown into high-stakes situations, are challenged not only by external enemies but by the weight of their own decisions and the cost of leadership.

Weber’s writing style is marked by its meticulous attention to detail and its ability to convey the personal stakes behind every galactic conflict. Whether exploring the complex alliances between interstellar powers or the inner workings of military operations, he has an uncanny ability to make readers care about both the grand and personal aspects of the stories he tells. His books don’t just entertain—they provoke thought about duty, sacrifice, and the consequences of choices made in the heat of battle.

With Honor Harrington leading the charge, Weber’s influence on the genre has been profound. His books have not only garnered widespread acclaim but have also spawned numerous spin-offs, making him one of the most prolific and influential voices in military sci-fi today. Beyond the battles and starships, Weber’s works are fundamentally about the humanity at the core of conflict—the relationships, moral dilemmas, and the struggle for survival in a universe that doesn’t always play by the rules.

Whether it’s a new entry in the Honor Harrington universe or a fresh exploration of interstellar politics and warfare, David Weber’s novels continue to captivate readers with their rich storytelling, complex characters, and thought-provoking themes. As one of the giants in the genre, his legacy is firmly entrenched in the minds of readers who have journeyed through his carefully crafted universes, always looking for the next great adventure on the horizon.
