To set things right, Vincent finds himself back at the core of time and reality, unveiling secrets from his past that reshaped his reality as he knew it. It only takes a moment to change everything. Alternate realities collide, and unfathomable powers and greeds unwind in this gripping new saga of the Time Corrector Series.
“A highly complex middle-chapter installment of an intricate SF/fantasy that requires sharp attention…The plot unfolds via multiple first-person perspectives in multiple timelines, sometimes recapping the same incidents from different points of view.” —Kirkus
“The truth revealed in the shocking climax will unravel all and shift readers’ emotions like the ebbing tide of altered time….It is a layered tale that will linger in conscious thoughts for some time”—Steven Robson for Readers’ Favorite
“Avi Datta’s The Movement continues Vincent’s sci-fi adventure with an intricate, mind-opening depiction of love, time travel, artificial intelligence, and other thought-provoking sci-fi topics..” —The Manhattan Book Review
“Datta’s head-spinning, time-bending Time Corrector science-fiction/romance epic continues, after The Winding, with this follow-up that doubles down on the first book’s already grand ambitions…This time-bending epic blends SF, romance, and adventure on the grandest scale.…” —Booklife/ Publishers Weekly
“Datta’s interspersing of SF aspects is seamless; the near-futuristic details are convincing; and the excitingly unpredictable action scenes have this emotional feel to them, as courageous, caring protagonists face mortal danger from truly sinister and evil antagonists. At the same time, he convincingly handles Vincent’s growth toward his role in shaping the future as a time corrector. A relentless concoction of mythology, action, and futuristic elements that makes for a dense, immersive read” —The BookView Review
“Datta hatches an intriguing plot, giving vivid descriptions that bring the scenes to life. He alternates the narration between the past and present, while at the same time switching the action between designated characters. This gave the storyline a complicated but beautiful flow. ”—Keith Mbuya of Reader’s Favorite
“I loved the descriptive imagery used by the author while describing incidents in the book. He clearly describes scenes in the book, and I could clearly draw images of what was going on in my mind.”—Online Book Club
“The Movement is another tense and thrill-packed installment in Datta’s innovative science fiction series. The action is once again set in the very near future, which enhances the immediacy of the story and renders the technologies and innovations scarily plausible. Worldbuilding and plotting have always been Datta’s strengths, and his character development and dialogue have now caught up with those aspects”—San Francisco Book Review
“There is a horde of exciting developments that keep readers on edge. Datta’s prose is crisp and textured: his depiction of mythology and hard SF and cyberpunk elements is as compelling as his headlong dive into the characters’ emotions” —The Prairies Book Review
“While more narratively complex than its predecessor, The Movement is in many ways more inviting, right down to the helpful footnotes explaining the nuances of backstories.”—BookLife/ Publishers Weekly
“Avi Datta never fails to sustain the intensity of the action and this time he raises the bar by way of the antagonist. Vandal makes a hateful villain and Datta has developed the character to be solid and utterly threatening.” —Vincent Dudlado for Readers’ Favorite
“The non-linear and multiple point-of-view format is handled in a way that never feels convoluted or confusing, and as a result, you find yourself breezing through the pages. Vincent has a distinct and compelling dynamic with both of his love interests, Akane and Emika, and this is the primary driving force behind the plot. A stellar addition to the Time Corrector Series” —Pikasho Deka for Readers’ Favorite
“A sequel just as lyrical, engaging, and beautiful as the original volume…The Movement is the rare sequel that not only matches but perhaps outshines the original. Avi Datta has proven to be an exceptionally skilled writer, able to handle both deep human connection and incredible action sequences…If you love books capable of telling a non-linear story but still wrapping things up perfectly, The Movement is the book for you.” —Adam Wright for Reedsy Discovery
