The timeline fractures deeper with every choice... and some secrets refuse to stay buried...
Alan Carson emerges from the portal into 2025 to find a world shaped by his own warnings, but success comes with a bitter price. The Timms Ranch has become a fortress, Douglas Timms has prepared for the collapse Alan predicted, and Sierra Timms is alive and safe—but out of reach in a way he'd never imagined.
In this altered reality, Kenneth appears rational, respected, and trusted by those Alan cares most about protecting. But Alan has seen what this man becomes—a manipulator, a killer, and someone who will sacrifice anyone to get what he wants. Is this younger Kenneth truly different, or do the same dark impulses already lie dormant beneath the surface?
As logging company mercenaries threaten the region and armed militias fight to protect their land, Alan must navigate a deadly game where his knowledge of other timelines makes him either prophetic or paranoid. Kaylee, having survived impossible trials at Alan's side, refuses to accept that their bond means nothing—and will fight for the future she believes they should share. Meanwhile, Kocha faces the impossible task of adapting to a reality his Stone Age mind was never meant to comprehend.
When corporate armies close in and old alliances fracture, Alan discovers that some deceptions run deeper than others. The greatest threat may not be the enemies he can see, but the lies he's telling himself about the people he's trying to save—and the woman whose heart he's already lost to another version of his greatest enemy.
In a timeline where past and future collide, where every truth hides a deeper deception, Alan must choose between the certainty of what he knows and the possibility that this time, everything might be different.
Deception is the ninth explosive installment in the In Times to Come series, where the past refuses to stay buried and the future demands a price no one is prepared to pay.
