The Winds of Time

Gefty Rammer thought this charter job would be easy: survey a lifeless sun system, collect his pay, move on. But when an unknown temporal current drags the Silver Queen out of normspace, the veteran space pilot realizes he's stumbled into something far beyond his expertise. His client, the enigmatic Mr. Maulbow, claims to be a simple businessman, but why does he travel with a creature called a janandra, and what is he really hunting in a dead system? As Gefty and his colleague Kerim Ruse struggle to survive the impossible currents pulling them through time itself, they begin to suspect that Maulbow's secrets could destroy them all. The tension builds toward a confrontation where Gefty must decide whether to trust the man who brought them here, and what price he'll pay for the truth. Schmitz delivers a tight, propulsive adventure that explores what happens when ordinary people collide with forces they don't understand, and how trust becomes the first casualty when survival is at stake.
