The Reversal

Time keeps perfect order - until it doesn't.Dr. Elena Vasquez has spent her career at CERN trusting her instruments. So when her detector begins recording entropy running backward - information and matter slipping the wrong way through time - she checks the result forty-seven times before she lets herself believe it. The signal is real. And it isn't coming from the machine. It's coming from her.Her resting heart rate is falling. The fine lines at the corners of her eyes are smoothing. By every measure she trusts, Elena is growing younger - and she is not the only one. Somewhere above the private contractor that has been quietly collecting people like her sits a government that would rather the whole thing vanish into a sealed clinic than reach the front page.With her husband refusing to let her face it alone, and a handful of strangers who carry the same impossible anomaly in their blood, Elena must decide what to do with a discovery that breaks the second law of thermodynamics. She can let herself be studied. She can disappear. Or she can try to turn it back - before the people hunting her decide the choice was never hers to make.Grounded in real physics - the Wheeler-DeWitt equation, time-symmetric boundary conditions - and pushed one careful step past the frontier, The Reversal is a near-future thriller where the science is real and the countdown is measured in heartbeats.For readers of Michael Crichton, Andy Weir, and Blake Crouch.
