If a government had become complacent, and if it became complicit with slowly and systematically dismantling democracy, would most people notice? Probably not.

If a man with a hidden past, who was living on borrowed time discovered his family were being targeted to coerce him to go back and work for them, would there be anything he could do to stop them?

When a series of events in Max Stevens past form a convergence of events into the natural order of things. The order that constructs the convergence of events, is intersected by cause and effect of a gate way to another timeline and a temporal journey that will have ramifications for all involved.

A series of time shifts back and forth from 2029 to 2229 cause an explosive cocktail of passion, love, and intrigue and murder. This is: The Eighth Floor Parallax.
