Future Shock
3 primary works Complete
Book 1
What do you do when the future is too late, and the present is counting down to an inevitable moment?
Elena Martinez has street smarts, the ability for perfect recall, and a deadline: if she doesn't find a job before she turns eighteen, she'll be homeless. But then she gets an unexpected offer from Aether Corporation, the powerful Los Angeles tech giant. Along with four other recruits--Adam, Chris, Trent, and Zoe--Elena is being sent on a secret mission to bring back data from the future. All they have to do is get Aether the information they need, and the five of them will be set for life. It's an offer Elena can't refuse.
But something goes wrong when the time travelers arrive in the future. And they are forced to break the only rule they were given--not to look into their own fates. Now they have twenty-four hours to get back to the present and find a way to stop a seemingly inevitable future--and a murder--from happening. But changing the timeline has deadly consequences too. Who can Elena trust as she fights to save her life?
The first book in an unforgettable series about rewriting your destiny in the city of dreams.
Book 2
Six months ago Aether Corporation sent Elena, Adam, and three other recruits on a trip to the future where they brought back secret information--but not everyone made it back to the present alive. Now Elena's dealing with her survivor's guilt and trying to make her relationship with Adam work. All she knows for sure is that she's done with time travel and Aether Corporation.
But Aether's not done with her--or Adam, or fellow survivor Chris. The travelers on Aether's latest mission to the future have gone missing, and Elena and her friends are drafted into the rescue effort. They arrive in a future that's amazingly advanced, thanks to Aether Corporation's reverse-engineered technology. The mission has deadly consequences, though, and they return to the future to try to alter the course of events.
But the future is different yet again. Now every trip through time reveals new complications, and more lives lost--or never born. Elena and Adam must risk everything--including their relationship--to save their friends.
Book 3
The final book in the New York Times bestselling Future Shock trilogy!
It's been a year since Elena and Adam were first recruited by Aether Corporation and six months since they destroyed the accelerator. Now Elena's in college and Adam is working on making his cure for cancer safe for the public. But Adam will be anything to figure out his cure, and when he goes missing, Elena realizes that he's done the unthinkable: he went to Aether for help.
Using Aether's new accelerator, Adam traveled into the future to find the fix for his cure, but he didn't come back when he was supposed to. Elena decides to risk future shock and time travels once more, but this future is nothing like they've seen before. Someone has weaponized Adam's cure and created a dangerous pandemic, leading to the destruction of civilization. If Elena can't find Adam and stop this, everyone is at risk. And someone will do anything to keep her from succeeding.
