WHEN THE WORLDS COLLIDE, THEIR LOVE WILL REWRITE THE FABRIC OF REALITY
In the shocking third installment of the Time Corrector series, super-genius Dr. Vincent Abajian finds himself in an even grander drama, and this time, the fate of his beloved daughter is on the line. The Reset is a culmination of worlds colliding, timelines interweaving, and relationships that seemed indestructible, reaching dire breaking points.
Vincent gets in the midst of an international political crisis forged by his adversary, Philip Nardin. As he tirelessly works to offset the impact, Philip kidnaps Nozomi, Vincent’s daughter. In an endgame decision, Vincent relinquishes his time-correcting powers to Philip while the world leaders launch a devastating arms race to weaponize Intreton—the purest energy source that can alter reality if mishandled. The two opponents, Vincent and Philip, unite against political and military forces to save reality from crumbling. Their plan reveals a mind-bending past and the identity of a time-twisted villain Philip calls the Lunatic. Such revelation leads to a dramatic conclusion and opens the possibility of a Reset. As someone close to Vincent shows their true self, Vincent discovers that Nozomi’s complex ties to Emika and Akane may hold the key to the Reset in this time-hopping clash of love, egos, and desires.
A story of love that transcends time and reality, and the sacrifices masquerading as selfish acts, the final book of the award-winning Time Corrector series is a whirlwind of unexpected events—many questions will finally be answered. And yet, new possibilities lay beyond this head-spinning conclusion.
“This latest series installment delivers an intricately recursive time-hopping tale of heartache and skullduggery. Indeed, readers will find that the narrative is more intricate than the inside of a complex pocket watch. If Back to the Future is elementary time travel, this is the stuff of doctoral theses.” —Kirkus
““Puzzle lovers and readers who love to contemplate intricate time conundrums will be fully engaged with the book’s sophisticated plot. The author merges various storylines and subplots to keep your mind busy and filled with questions about the plot’s direction. Also, the chapters are divided into well-dated and titled sections to give the reader an idea of the locations and the times of the events in the story. ” —The Manhattan Book Review
“Triple-stuffed with time-jumps, alt-reality doubles, chronological paradoxes, tense military showdowns, and other smart twists that bend existence like taffy, the third entry in Datta’s Time Corrector series is relentless in its invention, relentlessly committed to big ideas and bigger surprises. Readers new to the Time Corrector books should start at the beginning, as this volume draws on a Marvel Universe’s worth of complex, reality-crossing backstories.” —Booklife/ Publishers Weekly
“Effortlessly navigating multitudes of timelines and identities, Datta weaves a complex web of intrigue and suspense as Vincent and Philip race against time to stop powerful forces from obtaining the elusive intreton – a substance that could alter the very fabric of reality.

“Datta drives the storyline in a non-linear way, expertly managing the different timelines of the story. This gave the plot a beautifully complex touch. The edge-of-the-seat suspense and the spell-binding plot twists had me flipping through page after page. The well-crafted cast’s complex traits and emotions allowed me to connect with them. Being the final installment in the Time Corrector Series, The Reset can be savored more by first reading the previous installments. This page-turner is an epic and captivating finale of an amazing series.”—Keith Mbuya of Reader’s Favorite
“The book weaves together multiple themes, including time travel, love, politics, intrigue, and high-stakes action.”—San Francisco Book Review
“To say it is intricate would be an understatement. The brilliance of this book lies in the way the author gradually reveals the mystery surrounding the Lunatic and his ties to Vincent and Philip. Every piece of information leads readers on a twisting journey that ends with an unexpected revelation. For those unfamiliar with this series, it can be a labyrinth of mind-boggling ideas and deceptive realities. It’s crucial to start with the first installment or risk getting tangled in the complex history of the Time Corrector Universe, which is explored in unsettling intricacy in this volume. The intricate worldbuilding and strong character development make this a stand-out. Fans of mind-bending science fiction will find themselves enthralled by Datta’s expertly crafted narrative and clever twists.” —The Prairies Book Review

A stellar addition to the Time Corrector Series” —Pikasho Deka for Readers’ Favorite
