Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoyed the nostalgic time-travel logic of Dark or the personal stakes of Back to the Future but wanted something grittier for adults.
  • You're drawn to stories about friendship tested by impossible circumstances, where the real threat isn't the villain but the weight of knowing too much.
  • You appreciate hard sci-fi concepts like wormholes and temporal paradoxes wrapped around character-driven drama rather than exposition dumps.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You want a straightforward action romp. This is cerebral and introspective about the cost of second chances.
  • You're looking for romance or love triangles as a central plot. The relationships here are friendships under siege.
  • You prefer tidy resolutions. Time-travel stories by design create narrative knots that might frustrate readers seeking clean endings.

About this book

In 1945, the U.S. Army recovered a meteorite containing alien crystals capable of opening microscopic wormholes. An experiment involving physicist Dr. Gordon Keith went wrong, and he vanished. The Army concealed the incident, and the remaining stones disappeared from history. Forty years later, Luke Boyd and four friends in small-town Texas accidentally uncover one of these crystals during a Fourth of July prank. When the crystal activates on the eve of their twentieth high school reunion, it transports them back to 1985—returning them to their teenage bodies while retaining their adult minds and memories. To return home, they must navigate puberty again and retrace their original timeline without altering any moment, all while confronting Gordon Keith, an unhinged physicist they have freed from a warped pocket of spacetime. Keith did not disappear in 1945—he has been waiting. Luke faces the added burden that any change to the past could erase his wife and children from existence. The crystal offers either salvation or ruin, and mistakes with wormholes cannot be undone.
