Would you change reality for love?

Morally complex, orphan, and absolute genius Vincent Abajian is hellbent to uncover all he can on Artificial Intelligence. His relentless pursuit distracts him from a traumatic childhood loss-his childhood best friend Akane was engulfed in a time-turbulence, a random rift in space and time.

But when a beautiful, temperamental, post-doctoral scientist, Emika Amari, joins his Center, everything changes. Vincent is convinced that Akane is inside the irresistible Emika. As they begin a life together, Vincent's past and his connection with a time turbulence survivor challenge everything they've created and push them into a spiral of politics and conspiracy. Vincent's silence to protect Emika threatens to tear them apart. Unknowingly, Emika is torn between what she wants and what Akane wants from her. With his newfound power, Vincent struggles with whether or not he should create another time-turbulence to free Emika from the grasp of Akane once and for all. But will tinkering with time be more destructive than anything he has ever encountered before?

About the Author-

He is a highly cited scholar in Radical Innovation, Management of Technology, Management of Innovation, Technology Strategy, and Strategic entrepreneurship and has extensively published in top academic journals. During his spare time, he experiments with coffee, plays with his dog-Bruce the Magnificent, and explores the culinary world with his wife. He is a lifelong fan of Pink Floyd, and enjoys the works of Liszt, Chopin, Saint-Saëns, Sarasate, Hans Zimmer, Joe Hisaishi, and Hiroyuki Sawano. Avi loves to learn about mechanical watches and sports cars. He is also an avid painter, and experiments with several themes and styles. He often experienced memories of life from the future that he already lived in the past. That paradox inspired him to create the Time corrector series.
