Paperback. Teenage Jose can't get over the unending whispers of Time itself. He turns his modest basement into a portal to the impossible. Riding his candy-apple red bike, with a backpack of vacuum tube amplifiers, and an unrelenting curiosity, Jose builds a sound based device to crack open the veil between the present and the past.What begins as a personal quest for scientific breakthrough spirals into a surreal odyssey across shadow filled landscapes, encounters with ghost like visions of his own past, and uneasy alliances with cryptids, lost campers, rogue university labs, and a militarized "Proton Time Gun" project.Freeman blends gritty, small town realism with mind bending speculative physics, exploring how memory, family, and obsession shape, and are reshaped by our relationship with time. From backyard experiments to clandestine university conspiracies, Behind the Now is a relentless, character driven thriller that asks: if you could step beyond the flow of time, what would you sacrifice to return?A fresh take on time travel fiction that fuses raw teenage ingenuity with haunting, otherworldly suspense, perfect for fans of The Martian, Dark Matter, and any story that dares to hear the hidden songs of the universe.
