The SHIP That WOULDN'T DIE II: Hour Never Was

BOOK TWO: A dead man. A dying warship. One impossible hour to undo six years of grief. Cory Danes and the sentient dreadnaught he calls Ted have become a legend-two ghosts crossing the galaxy to answer distress calls, expose buried crimes, and carry the names of the dead. But when they discover evidence that the phenomenon that killed them can bend time itself, hope becomes more dangerous than vengeance. With physicist Warrick Ostrander and former Concordance scientist Gretchen Webb, Cory and Ted build two anchors: one fixed to the final hour of their crew, and another strengthened by every life they have saved. Their goal is impossible: return to the moment before twelve hundred and one people died-and stop the attack. Yet the past is guarded by something ancient, aware, and afraid of being undone. As a militant faction races to weaponize the same power, Cory must decide how much of the present he is willing to sacrifice for one chance to rewrite the past. And when he finally finds the man responsible for the catastrophe, he discovers not a monster, but another grieving soul who reached too far. The Hour That Never Was is Book Two of The Ship That Wouldn't Die, a character-driven science-fiction adventure about grief, mercy, time travel, found family, and the terrible cost of trying to save what has already been lost. Best read after Book One.
