"OUTSMARTING TIME does exactly what a sci-fi read should do; it messes with your head and feeds you pieces of information as you race to the end!" Reedsy "Kline really knows how to make an entrance on the literary scene." Indies Today "Screw destiny, screw fate, and screw Time. I know I can fix this. I have to." Nothing is working out the way Edie Donne planned. She didn't get into grad school, her parents are barely speaking to her, and her job is a dead end. But then she's pulled fifty years into the future and is held captive by ChronoTech, a high-tech time travel research corporation led by a team of obsessed scientists. And there's no way home. Aided by two ChronoTech defectors, Edie escapes from the lab and convinces her new allies to help search for the truth about the past she lost. What they uncover launches Edie on a daring mission to change her family's fate, stop a deadly accident, and-if she's lucky-prevent her own murder. But her plan hits a snag when she finds that she's pitted herself against an adversary that might never be bested-Time itself. Edie has one chance to set the past right. If she fails, she loses her family to a timeline that was never supposed to happen, but, if she succeeds... she may lose everything.
