Time Crime

A million Earths exist in parallel timelines, and someone is profiting from the worst trade across all of them. Kiro Soran, a guard captain on a Third Level timeline, spots trouble during a routine slave purchase: the hundred captives aren't local. They're from the Kholghoor Sector in India, kidnapped from their own era and dragged through time for sale on a world that never knew they existed. Soran alerts the Paratime Police, and what begins as a single investigation spirals into a hunt for the Wizard Traders, a criminal network exploiting the gaps between parallel realities. Piper builds his universe with the precision of a clockmaker: time travel here isn't magic but mechanics, with rules that matter and consequences that compound. Yet beneath the puzzle-box plotting lies something sharper, a meditation on how power weaponizes the vulnerable across every possible world. Time Crime crackles with pulp adventure while quietly asking whether justice can ever truly cross timelines.
