Plot

What if the most valuable commodity on Earth is for sale? In 2121, a scientist finds a way.

But it's used for all the wrong reasons. People buy time to cheat, commit fraud, or extend the lives of people in pain.

After World War III, anyone suspected of spreading misinformation is banished to a desolate place of anarchy and violence. Whistleblowers of the hidden time scheme are considered such conspiracy theorists.

Plan

A middle-aged soccer player, a cancer patient, and a teenage girl end up there.

Together with a local extreme conspiracy theorist they form a tribe of their own: the Time Conspirators. They’ve learned their lesson; their goal is to stop the selling of time.

Problem

From a remote desert crawling with dangers, and a bunker with vulnerable but crucial technology, the Time Conspirators set out to save time. A goal that appears to be far more important than even they could have imagined.

The odds are near hopeless. But with a helping hand at times, who is as elusive as the fleeting time, they just might succeed. Or they might not.

Time will tell.

inspiration

what inspired the novel

Yep. Three main sources of inspiration again.

Einstein

I never felt as dumb as when I researched Einstein's special relativity theory. Otherworldy, and yet real. I must have watched professor Brian Greene's tutorials a hundred times, and spent weeks reading up on the fascinating topic of time dilation.

Worth every minute.

The value of time

"If only I could stop the time..."

Clearly, in today's world, nobody seems to have enough time to accomplish what is expected from them. Or to spend with their loved ones. To do what they always wanted.

What if all of this were possible?

Conspiracy theories

With the level of lunacy going around in the world right now, while I'm writing this novel, I don't think it's too far-fetched to expect the cause of World War III will be some anti-science conspiracy theory.

Call me crazy.
