What if saving the future meant rewriting the past?
In a dying world overrun by microdrones, humanity's last survivors cling to life inside the Eden-17 biodome.

With the help of Madders, an enigmatic AI built from the memories of a brilliant physicist, Isabelle sends Diego Nadales—the love of her life—35 years into the past. His mission? To change the course of history and prevent their world's collapse.
When Diego arrives in the vibrant yet fragile Main Timeline, he's forced to confront ghosts of the past, including a younger, ambitious version of Isabelle. As he battles to shape a better future, Diego must navigate a delicate web of relationships and events without destroying the very fabric of time.

Honestly? I had no idea that renovations to my home would completely take over my life. The author sent me the book in plenty of time for the tour and I was confident I would have it read with time to spare. Ummm, nope. I'm so tired in the evenings that I just end up falling asleep on the couch. Ask my kids. We've been living like this since end of February and it looks like Phase I (two additions, new deck, new front porch) is nearly complete. Thank the Book Gods! However, that means Phase 2 will begin. And that means packing up my entire kitchen, living room, laundry room, and various other smaller crap so that the carpet can be ripped out and the kitchen be redone among a bunch of other stuff. So, yeah. No time to catch my breath just yet. I'm sincerely hoping to get back to reading once Phase 2 is complete and we've moved everything back in. August maybe? *cries a little* I'm getting very cranky about the whole non-reading issue. If it weren't for the 50 minutes a day in my car listening to audiobooks I think I would have committed some grievous acts by now.
