Om Time's Agent

Pocket World-a geographically small, hidden offshoot of our own reality, sped up or slowed down by time"What would you do, given another universe, a do-over?"Since humanity discovered the existence of pocket worlds, academics have embarked on exploratory missions as agents for the Institute for the Scientific and Humanistic Study of Portal Worlds to study this new technology and harness the potential of a seemingly limitless horizon.Archeologist Raquel and her biologist wife Marlena once dreamed the pocket worlds held the key to solving the universe's mysteries. Now, forty years in the future, Raquel is a disgraced ex-agent, pocket worlds are controlled by corporations squeezing every penny out of all colonizable space and time, and Marlena now lives in a pocket universe Raquel wears around her neck in which time passes faster than on Earth, and no longer speaks to her.Standing in the ruins of her dream and her calling, Raquel seizes one last chance to redeem herself, to her wife and her own failed ideals and confront what it means to save something-or someone-from time.
