About the Book
Imagine if you could stop time. What would you do?
In this long short story James Merrick combines the moral exploration of an existential novel with a science fiction premise. A young doctor invents a device allowing him to slip inside time. In this frozen world he is tempted to use his new power for material gain and to escape the control of his sinister employer, but when he finds himself committing a crime for which there is no justification he is forced to go on the run and wait for his guilt to catch up with him. Think Crime and Punishment written by Phillip K Dick.
