What if the year 1999 repeated… forever?
Will’s first time through 1999 was a pretty good year. And the second time was even better. But as the year continues to repeat, and as the world realizes that they might be trapped in 1999 forever, Earth’s civilizations start to unravel.
What is causing the time loop? Why is the world stuck in 1999? Is it the Y2K bug? Or something else entirely?
When Will discovers the shocking truth causing the global disaster—and his own unwitting role in it—he will be asked to give up everything in order to save the world and get humanity back on track to the year 2000.
Fans of time travel and “time loop” stories will love Hanberg’s “sleek and fast” style in this mind-bending novella.
How do you fight a war when the enemy knows your every thought?
Byron Shaw is in the fight of his life. His family are hostages, orbiting the Earth in a spaceship that could be destroyed any minute. His enemies are preparing for a final assault. And his allies are powerless help him.
So begins the gripping final chapter in The Lattice Trilogy.
With the Lattice restored, the improved network is all the more wonderful and all the more terrible for it. With it, Shaw can give his body over to another to control, clone a 900-year old saint, or dip into a raw feed of the Lattice’s immense knowledge. But should he?
Trapped between his two worst enemies—Taveena Parr and the surviving raiders on one side and Zella Galway and the cartel of corporations on the other—Shaw must blaze his own path if he wants to save his family. The ensuing battle will take the world once more to the brink of global disaster, and in the end, only Shaw will decide the fate of the Lattice.
Hiding is easy. Staying alive is the problem.
Byron Shaw is the focus of a worldwide manhunt, led by the man he once called a friend. Everywhere he turns he finds more danger. Everyone who helps him risks their own life.
With the Lattice destroyed, the systems the world relies upon have come undone. Global communications are down, food is growing scarce, and the weather is spiraling out of control. Shaw must fight his away across two shell-shocked continents if he ever wants to see his wife again. Unfortunately for him, he must navigate between those who are trying to rebuild the Lattice and those who are willing to kill anyone who might have the expertise or the resources to pull it off. Shaw must choose sides, and the future of the world will rest with his decision.
In the future, privacy is a thing of the past.
'Staggeringly smart… Hanberg's expertly honed storytelling is sleek and fast… [an] entertaining tale.' —Kirkus Reviews
Nevada, 2081. Colonel Byron Shaw safeguards the world’s innermost secrets. From a control center in Area 51, he monitors the expansive surveillance system that once saved him certain death at the hands of ruthless kidnappers. But not everyone trusts technology that peers through strangers’ eyes, so it’s no shock when a guerrilla attack nearly wipes out the network and spills his blood.
Tasked with tracking down the terrorist cell, Byron sets off on a globe-spanning chase that brings him to the outer edge of Earth’s atmosphere. But as he infiltrates their ranks, a growing suspicion about the system that preserved his own life could sabotage civilization.
Torn between duty and doubt, one man’s decision could rewire humanity’s future.
