Dr. Keanu Barkley, an astrophysicist at the Mauna Kea Observatory in Hawaii, is the first to notice disturbing anomalies that would soon shake the world. During a routine graveyard shift, Keanu detects strange quantum signatures in the solar storm readings-patterns that should not occur in normal solar activity. When reports of widespread amnesia cases begin to emerge across Honolulu, Keanu is convinced that the sun's unusual activity is affecting human memory through some yet unknown quantum mechanism. Keanu maps the amnesia cases against Earth's geomagnetic field data, uncovering a chilling pattern: the memory loss is spreading in inverse proportion to the strength of the planet's magnetic field.

Keanu's findings lead him to collaborate with Dr. Zuri Kealoha, a brilliant yet controversial quantum physicist. Her research on Boltzmann Brains offers a framework for understanding how the sun's activity might disrupt quantum coherence that preserves human consciousness and memory. Together, they embark on developing technology that would protect human memories and prevent a potentially catastrophic event.

Joachim Jared is a Filipino author whose lifelong passion for science fiction fuels his storytelling. Born and raised in the Philippines, he later lived in various cities in the United States and visited Singapore, experiences that enriched his perspective on culture and technology. A computer scientist by training, he brings analytical precision to his writing while maintaining a deep appreciation for the genre's ability to blend reality with imagination. ECHOES OF TIME marks his debut into published fiction?a meticulously crafted time travel saga born from decades of consuming sci-fi literature and films. When not writing, Jared enjoys exploring the intersections of technology and human experience?often with cups of strong coffee in hand?while seeking new ways to challenge readers' perceptions of possibility.
