Unfinished Time. This item is unavailable.Unfinished Time

On the planet Triste, time moves differently—and so does power.

Colonel Endling once cracked the legendary case of the Big Brain. Now retired and restless, he spends his days chasing an unsolved mystery: a rumored tunnel left behind by the first explorer ever to set foot on Triste. His loyal assistant Sleeper follows him faithfully, unaware that their search is pulling them into a conflict far larger than either man imagines.

Across the deserts and cities of Triste, a perfect storm is forming.

A ruthless King hides in a subterranean bunker, ruling through surveillance, misinformation, and a silent network of tiny mechanical spies. His secret operatives prepare a violent operation that will plunge the planet into chaos. The Marines are no longer peacekeepers; they are enforcers. The police are just decoration. And in the shadows of the slums, a group of orphaned beach kids—led by fierce, brilliant Yoshi—discover pieces of military tech that were never meant to fall into civilian hands.

When a hanging goes wrong, when a stadium burns, when old loyalties crack, every power on Triste begins to move at once.

Colonel Endling thinks he’s chasing a mystery beneath the garden estates. But the real secrets are already watching him.

As rebellion brews, alliances fracture, and hidden tunnels lead to long-buried truths, the world beneath the world is about to be revealed—and nothing on Triste will ever be the same.

For fans of character-driven science fiction, political intrigue, found-family street kids, military conspiracies, and slow-burn mysteries woven through an alien world with human cracks.
