Summary
Inception meets True Detective in this science fiction thriller of spellbinding tension and staggering scope that follows a special agent into a savage murder case with grave implications for the fate of mankind...

“I promise you have never read a story like this.”—Blake Crouch, New York Times bestselling author of Dark Matter

Shannon Moss is part of a clandestine division within the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. In western Pennsylvania, 1997, she is assigned to solve the murder of a Navy SEAL's family—and to locate his vanished teenage daughter. Though she can't share the information with conventional law enforcement, Moss discovers that the missing SEAL was an astronaut aboard the spaceship U.S.S. Libra—a ship assumed lost to the currents of Deep Time. Moss knows first-hand the mental trauma of time-travel and believes the SEAL's experience with the future has triggered this violence.

Determined to find the missing girl and driven by a troubling connection from her own past, Moss travels ahead in time to explore possible versions of the future, seeking evidence to crack the present-day case. To her horror, the future reveals that it's not only the fate of a family that hinges on her work, for what she witnesses rising over time's horizon and hurtling toward the present is the Terminus: the terrifying and cataclysmic end of humanity itself.

Luminous and unsettling, The Gone World bristles with world-shattering ideas yet remains at its heart an intensely human story.

This was the first science fiction I’ve ever read. Loved it. It was a great read and the narrator was fantastic.

It's been awhile since a book made me think. There were many ponder points in this work! Excellent narration as well.

Profile Avatar Delwyn R. Mar 2024

Extremely creative and surprisingly violent at times. This had some really unsettling ideas in it and some fascinating takes on the nature of time and destiny.

Clearly one of the best books that I have read or listened to in my 70 years. I stayed in my car listening so often that my husband thought I had taken a lover and was spending my time talking on the phone with him-hahaha. The narrator did an incredible reading and the author must have a big brain and a brilliant way of bringing to life some fearful yet unbelievable scenes.

Best novel I've read in recent years. Nothing from the last decade tops this and I've yet to listen to something from this decade that does. Also, I liked the narrator too.
