Evelyn Carter has spent her life analyzing data, searching for patterns where others see noise. But when a classified document rewrites itself in real time, she uncovers something impossible — a flaw in reality itself.

At first, it looks like a simple anomaly.
A glitch in the system.

But the deeper she digs, the more the world begins to fracture.

Time loops in subtle ways.
Memories shift.
People disappear — or worse, remain… altered.

What Evelyn has discovered is not just a temporal anomaly, but evidence of something far more terrifying: a hidden system controlling reality, constantly correcting deviations to maintain a perfect timeline.

A system built on rules no one remembers creating.

As the corrections accelerate, Evelyn becomes the center of a growing pattern — a paradox that shouldn’t exist. A living contradiction in a world governed by precision.

Now she must navigate a collapsing structure of parallel timelines, secret archives, and a conspiracy that spans across multiple cycles of existence.

Because this isn’t the first time reality has broken.

It’s happened before.
Again and again.

And every time, the system reset everything.

Except this time… something went wrong.

This time, the anomaly remained.

And the deeper Evelyn falls into the truth, the clearer it becomes:

She is not just observing the system.

She is part of it.

Anomaly Zero: The Deviation is a mind-bending sci-fi thriller that blends simulation theory, time loop mystery, and philosophical science fiction into a gripping story about control, free will, and the fragile nature of reality itself.

Perfect for readers who love:

reality manipulation and glitch in reality fiction
alternate timelines and temporal paradox stories
dystopian systems and hidden conspiracies
psychological sci-fi mystery with a strong female lead

The system was designed to be perfect.
It was never meant to fail.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
