BACK ACROSS TIME

Joshua Osswald never meant to fracture history. His first leap in 2025 hurled him into 1983, where neon lights, arcade halls, and a single mistake nearly erased his family's future. In The First Leap, he learned the fragile weight of tampering with time - and the cost of setting it right.

In The Clockmaker's Legacy, the machine dragged him deeper, to 1855 Wisconsin, where he met Friedrich Osswald - a German immigrant, master craftsman, and ancestor who revealed the family's hidden role as guardians of time's secrets. Together, they faced Silas Crane, a rival inventor whose ambition nearly unraveled the continuum. Joshua returned to his own era with more than survival: he carried the legacy of generations bound to the spiral of time.

But destiny wasn't finished.

Now, in Neon Futures, Joshua is thrown forward into 2055, a city bathed in light and shadow. Here, corporations sell time like currency, hoarding fragments of his family's inventions and rewriting history to their profit. Rebels whisper of the "First Timekeeper," a figure foretold in fractured archives - and to Joshua's horror, they believe it's him.

Yet Joshua is not alone. Another traveler walks the spiral, a fractured version of himself who has embraced tyranny, not stewardship. Where Joshua seeks to mend, the Other seeks to unmake.

The battle for time has shifted from survival to inheritance.
And Joshua must decide whether to be keeper, thief, or something more - at the very edge of tomorrow.

Teaser for Book IV: The Hidden Hour

Returning to 1955, Joshua finds himself at the dawn of rock 'n' roll - sock-hops, chrome diners, and a golden postwar dream. But beneath the music and neon lies a government project investigating "time disruptions."

Another traveler is already at work, rewriting U.S. history from the shadows.

Joshua must ally with a young scientist who unknowingly helped build the original machine. Together, they must stop a collision of past and future before the Hidden Hour strikes.
