Divergence: In Times to Come Series Book Eight
The past cannot be changed—or can it?
Alan Carson and Kaylee Malone escape the primeval world only to discover that crossing back through time doesn't mean returning home. The portal delivers them to a reality that echoes with familiarity yet feels fundamentally changed—a world reshaped by the very warnings Alan left behind. In this altered present, familiar faces harbor new secrets, and dangers they thought they’d dodged now manifest in unexpected ways. The timeline has shifted, responding to interventions never meant to occur, creating a future neither of them recognizes.
In this changed world, old warnings have been remembered by some and dismissed by others. Familiar faces bear the weight of years and choices made in Alan's absence, creating a landscape of bewildering contradictions and unexpected consequences.
As Alan and Kaylee navigate this strange new reality together, their shared ordeal has transformed them. The bond forged in survival grows deeper, even as they discover that everything Alan thought he knew about his mission might have been incomplete.
With each step they take, the mystery deepens: Have Alan's interventions through time created a better future or merely diverted the path to destruction into new directions? And in a world where the past and future have been irreversibly altered, where—or when—does he truly belong?
Divergence is the eighth riveting installment in the In Times to Come series, where every journey through time fractures reality in ways no one could predict.

Altered Course Book One: The Passage
An abandoned sailing vessel… A voyage into the unknown… A desperate fight to survive a future that shouldn’t be…
When a classic wooden schooner is discovered adrift in the Gulf Stream off St. Augustine, Florida—fully rigged and intact, but with no trace of its origins—Nathan Kirks is tasked with its survey and refit. Young, restless, and fresh from a Maine boatbuilding apprenticeship, Nathan knows his traditional small sailing craft, but this 45-footer is a riddle: no records, no markings, no owner—just a seaworthy ghost ship with an untraceable past.
When the schooner is ready for display at a prestigious boat show up the coast, Nathan seizes his chance. With forged papers and a loyal crew of two close friends, he concocts a scheme to instead set sail for the islands. But something unexplained happens once they are well offshore and all GPS and radio signals are lost.
Forced to alter course, they make landfall to find marinas and waterfront communities empty and neglected. Derelict vessels lie haphazardly tied alongside dilapidated docks, while cars and trucks rust away on flat tires. The first people they encounter are wary, desperate, and armed, and Nathan and his crew soon realize the world in which they’ve arrived is not the one they left. Somehow, the schooner has carried them to an unknown, dark future—to a world reeling in the aftermath of a deadly pandemic that has left civilization in ruins.
Shunned by survivors who see them as a threat—and hunted by those who want what they have—Nathan and his crew are desperate to understand what went wrong while they were at sea. Will they unlock the secrets of the vessel that brought them here, or has the passage sealed their fate?
From Scott B. Williams, author of In Times to Come and Feral Nation, comes Altered Course—a gripping new series where time itself is the greatest threat to survival.
