Before the war for time began, one man made a choice that changed everything.
In the 25th century, Maxwell Bahn is a gifted but directionless scientist searching for purpose. When he accepts a post on a remote research station in the asteroid belt, he believes he is joining a civilian scientific project. What he discovers instead is something far more dangerous.
Project Clean Sweep is a lie.
Project Dominion is not.
As Bahn uncovers the truth behind a covert military programme and a hidden alien presence already reshaping the Solar System, he realises humanity’s greatest threat does not come from the future or the past, but from its belief that it has the right to control everything it touches.
Guided by a mysterious caretaker who seems to know more than any man should, Bahn is drawn into a crisis where survival depends not on conquest, but on restraint. The decisions made on a forgotten asteroid will ripple across centuries, shaping wars yet to be fought and lives yet to be born.
A Ragged Loop in Time is a gripping science-fiction prequel about legacy, responsibility, and the moment humanity first reached for dominion over the stars.
This prequel novella is the perfect introduction to the Ragged Time Trilogy and leads directly into The Ragged Edge of Time.
Genre: Science Fiction
