Alabama District 3
Commonwealth Of North America
With an asthmatic wheeze the engine died. It figured. Stuck in a man’s craw, it did. This truck had been his daddy’s and his pappy’s, and before the Commonwealth government forced him to replace the diesel engine with the newfangled water doohickey, he was certain he’d pass the truck onto his son.
He’d been playing under the hood of trucks since he was six and now he was stranded. Embarrassing, that’s what it was. He climbed out of the cab to check the engine out of habit. The ice blue block of modern fuel efficiency stared back. Three hundred bucks it’d cost him, straight from his pocket.
Oh, there was a government subsidy, all right. A priority list. Major Population Centers, they said. Unite the countries of the Commonwealth on a timeline, they said. And what did all that mean?
It meant the Yankees got upgraded cities and free cars before the ink was dry on the Constitution and what about the little man? Nobody thought about the working class. No one cared about a man covered in oil and grease anymore.
CONVERGENCE POINT
A district of her own, an assistant who reminds her of a Viking crossed with an over-enthusiastic puppy, and cases to work without a boss micro-managing—or plotting to murder her: Everything Agent Sam Rose ever wanted.
But a strange explosion at Drenmann Labs disrupts her equilibrium. The senior agent in the neighboring district—who technically outranks her—dismisses it as an accident. Sam suspects something more. Especially since only Henry Troom, former protégé of Dr Abdul Emir, died in the blast.
Sam packed away the trauma of dealing with Dr Emir’s parallel-reality machine with the final compulsory psychological debriefing last May. But this case forces her not only to reconfront her worst fears… Sam finds herself embroiled in a battle for the very fabric of reality, pursued by someone who wants to make sure secrets stay hidden.
Sam’s dark future is here.
Perfect for fans of Blade Runner and J.D. Robb’s In Death series, don’t miss Convergence Point, the bone-chilling sequel to The Day Before.
If all life is sacred, then Mr. Gant is a blasphemer of the highest order. He is everything humanity strives not to be.

Iteration 3
Gracie, a bearded Latino man with a shiny bald head, punched Nialls Gant’s arm. “Wanna a tat, brah? I got more ink.”
Nialls kept his focus on the guards in the prison tower as they rotated.
“You hear me, brah?” The fetid odor of onions and poor hygiene entrapped him.
Blinking once, Nialls turned to the other inmate. “No.”
“Come on, Gant. We could do a couple of teardrops on you. Maybe a gun on your back,” Gracie went on, oblivious to Nialls’s focus.
“Prison tattoos make it easier for people to identify you when you’re out of prison,” Nialls said. “It’s hard to run a con when you have your criminal record embedded in your dermis.”

NOTE: There was significant editing done to this edition of the book. If you buy the older version published by HarperCollins you will be missing a new chapter.
Safely ensconced in the past, away from the Commonwealth Bureau of Investigation — away from Dr. Emir’s parallel reality machine — the biggest worry in Sam Rose’s life right now? The heat of an Australian summer.
But her phone buzzes: a mysterious notification about the old Jane Doe case. The case buried beneath more layers of Top Secret protocols than anything else in the world. Another woman found, same fracture patterns, same murder weapon.
Sam should let it slide. But she never caught the killer — her killer — and she never determined which version of herself she buried in an unmarked grave. Getting involved threatens the stability not just of her world — Sam’s shocking discovery reveals a silent war that endangers the entire fabric of reality. No one can escape the fall out.
Only one reality will prevail. And every step Sam takes shifts her one step closer to becoming the girl in the grave…
The stunning conclusion to the Time & Shadows series that will have you on the edge of your seat until the final heart-pounding twist. Perfect for fans of J.D. Robb and Philip K. Dick.

Iteration 17—Fan 1
… three. Rose stood and peered through the frosted, warped glass of the conference room as the speaker turned away. It didn’t matter which iteration she was in, Emir was predictable. She had seven seconds to do a head count. She didn’t need that long.
A quick head count was all it took to confirm that the einselected nodes she’d been sent to assassinate were where they belonged.
Every iteration had nodes, people or events that kept that variation of human history from collapsing. Dr. Emir had created a machine that allowed people not only to move along their own timeline, but at critical convergence points, it allowed them to cross between realities. But the Mechanism for Iteration Alignment’s greatest ability was the one that allowed Dr. Emir and Central Command to steer history by erasing futures they didn’t want.
Rose knelt beside the door, did one final sweep for alarms, and nodded for her team to move in. It was her job to cross at convergence points, kill the nodes, and collapse the futures that no one wanted.
