The multiverse is collapsing. The time machine is broken. And humanity’s last hope? Might already be dead.

Seven months after the EMPs brought the world to its knees, a handful of scientists are racing against extinction—and each other. Somewhere in a flooded skyscraper lies a wormhole generator that might be able to undo the apocalypse. If they can find it. If it still works. If it doesn’t kill them first.

Meanwhile, Diego Nadales wakes up chained to a wall, his face bloodied and his memories fractured. He's being accused of terrorism, treason, and time travel. The last one, at least, is true.

Isabel is trapped inside a biodome ruled by the man she once trusted. But her bees—microscopic drones designed to save the planet—have been hijacked and weaponized. If she doesn’t find a way out soon, her creation will wipe out the last threads of life on Earth.

Old friends return. New enemies rise. And somewhere in the chaos, one small spark of hope just might be enough to ignite a revolution.

The clock isn’t ticking. It’s broken.

Also known as Hive Book 2.

D. L. Orton

The BEST-SELLING AUTHOR, D. L. ORTON, lives in the foothills of Colorado where she and her husband are raising three boys, a golden retriever, two Siberian cats, and an extremely long-lived Triops. Her future plans include completing the books in the BETWEEN TWO EVILS series followed by an extended vacation on a remote tropical island (with a Starbucks).

When she’s not writing, playing tennis, or helping with algebra, she’s building a time machine so that someone can go back and do the laundry.

Madders of Time

In a future unraveling at the seams, where Earth’s last breaths are measured in rising tides and fractured time, a single decision could mean everything—or nothing at all.

The Madders of Time series bends the rules of science fiction by rooting its high-concept premise in something achingly human: love, regret, and the terrifying weight of second chances. Against the backdrop of ecological collapse and quantum uncertainty, a group of flawed, determined individuals dares to believe that time isn’t just a line—it’s a lifeline.

What begins as a story of survival inside a biodome, a crumbling refuge from a dying world, quickly evolves into a layered narrative about the butterfly effect of personal choices. Time travel isn’t a shiny escape here—it’s messy, dangerous, and deeply personal. The characters aren’t heroes. They’re scientists, lovers, exes, and sometimes their own worst enemies—each haunted by what they’ve lost and what they might still change.

With sharp dialogue, unexpected humor, and an atmosphere that walks the line between hope and heartbreak, this series offers more than speculative fiction—it offers a mirror. The kind that shows not just where we might be headed, but how we got here in the first place.

For readers who crave emotional depth in their science fiction—those who want timelines tangled with heartstrings—this is the kind of story that stays with you long after the last page, asking the question: if you had one shot to fix the past, what would you risk to take it?

Rich with themes of climate disaster, time paradoxes, and the persistence of love, this is speculative storytelling grounded in the raw, chaotic beauty of being human.


Madders of Time consists of two books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.

★ 9.00 / 2
