#1 Amazon Best Seller in Mystery & Detective “This is the most ambitious entry yet in this brain-twisting time-travel series.”—Booklife (Publisher’s Weekly) “Indeed, readers will find that the narrative is more intricate than the inside of a complex pocket watch. If Back to the Future is elementary time travel, this is the stuff of doctoral theses.”—Kirkus Reviews. “Datta’s vivid descriptions do an excellent job of bringing the Time Corrector Universe to life on the pages…. Fans of mind-bending science fiction will find themselves enthralled by Datta’s expertly crafted narrative and clever twists”—Prairies Book Review. “Fans of dense, intricately detailed SF won’t want to miss this one.” —BookView Review WHEN THE WORLDS COLLIDE, THEIR LOVE WILL REWRITE THE FABRIC OF REALITY In the shocking third installment of the Time Corrector series, super-genius Dr. Vincent Abajian finds himself in an even grander drama, and this time, the fate of his beloved daughter is on the line. The Reset is a culmination of worlds colliding, timelines interweaving, and relationships that seemed indestructible, reaching dire breaking points. Vincent gets in the midst of an international political crisis forged by his adversary, Philip Nardin. As he tirelessly works to offset the impact, Philip kidnaps Nozomi, Vincent’s daughter. In an endgame decision, Vincent relinquishes his time-correcting powers to Philip while the world leaders launch a devastating arms race to weaponize Intreton—the purest energy source that can alter reality if mishandled. The two opponents, Vincent and Philip, unite against political and military forces to save reality from crumbling. Their plan reveals a mind-bending past and the identity of a time-twisted villain Philip calls the Lunatic. Such revelation leads to a dramatic conclusion and opens the possibility of a Reset. As someone close to Vincent shows their true self, Vincent discovers that Nozomi’s complex ties to Emika and Akane may hold the key to the Reset in this time-hopping clash of love, egos, and desires. A story of love that transcends time and reality, and the sacrifices masquerading as selfish acts, the final book of the award-winning Time Corrector series is a whirlwind of unexpected events—many questions will finally be answered. And yet, new possibilities lay beyond this head-spinning conclusion.
