book cover A Search Through Time to Track a Killer

It was supposed to be a routine trip for the members of the Gordian Division, both human and AI: fly out to Saturn, inspect the construction of their latest time machines, then fly back. But when the division’s top scientist and chief engineer are killed in the same freak accident, suspicions of foul play run deep. Detective Isaac Cho is sent to investigate. Despite his objections, Cho is stuck with an untested partner on a case that increasingly reeks of murder and conspiracy. The unlikely pair must work together to unravel this mystery, and soon they discover their unique combination of skills might just provide the edge they need.

But nothing is ever simple where the Gordian Division is involved. Not even time itself.

Intrigue and Danger Among the Highborn

Jamethiel Knorth, Priest’s Bane and Dream-Weaver, has returned victorious from Tai-tastigon, but trouble dogs the Kencyrath. The Randir and his allies want the larger houses to decide for all nine, which would strip the Highlordship from the Knorth. At Omiroth, a senile king struggles against his venal son-in-law. Kindrie Soul-Walker is captured and thrown in a secret dungeon, a political prisoner. Now, Jame rides south to Bashti. Here she confronts an unready and presumptuous heir, a withholding and manipulative paymaster, and invisible assassins. Her formal errand, meanwhile, is to compete in martial games with secret stakes, which she fears are a cloak for a massacre—or worse.

Detective Ezekiel “Easy” Novak didn’t normally like going into a case quite so blind, but when he’s called out to the Agricultural Zone to visit one of the wealthiest men on Nova Columbia, the payday made it worth his while. It seems Felix Konrad’s son is missing. And so is a valuable artifact from his vast collection of antiquities. Now, it’s up to Novak to find them both—before a radical group of cultists intercept them.
