About this audiobook

Shiv’s Timeline Verse is a speculative sci-fi trilogy that blends humor, suspense, and emotional depth, following the accidental journey of Shiv, a data analyst who inherits more than just a garage from his eccentric uncle Rishi. When Shiv activates a strange wrist device hidden in Rishi’s lab, he’s yanked through a portal and thrown into a dystopian future torn apart by temporal rifts, surveillance wars, and collapsing timelines. Each part explores a different stage of Shiv’s unraveling reality.

In Book 1: The Future Stole My Weekend, Shiv navigates a war-ridden city of the future where memory is currency and survival depends on forming unlikely alliances—including with a sharp-tongued rebel kid named Jix and an archivist named Venn.

In Book 2: The Past Stole My Exit, Shiv is forced to revisit manipulated versions of his own memories, confront the truth behind the device's origin, and face Elsie—a version of someone he once loved—only to realize time doesn’t heal, it folds.

In Book 3: The Loop That Lied to Me, Shiv must challenge the system that built the loop in the first place. As timelines glitch and identities blur, Shiv must decide: does he close the loop, escape it, or rewrite the rules?

This trilogy isn't just about time travel—it's about the cost of remembering, the pain of forgetting, and the courage to choose chaos over control when the future is already broken.

This trilogy is more than just a time-travel adventure. It explores big themes like memory, the pain of forgetting, and the courage it takes to choose a chaotic path over a controlled one when the future is already broken. It's categorized as young adult fiction, so the pace is quick and the story is designed to be engaging for a broad audience. The emotional introspection and literary flair are what really set it apart.

What really stands out is the main character, Shiv. He's not a seasoned hero or a genius scientist; he's a relatable data analyst who is suddenly thrown into a world he doesn't understand. His journey from an ordinary guy to someone who has to make world-altering decisions is a major strength of the story. The trilogy does an excellent job of showing his growth, his struggles, and his courage.
