A new role in a world governed by Clocks

In the second volume of the Out of Time trilogy, Parvin Blackwater faces an unwanted shift from wishing for death to being called on to lead, with little support from those around her. The Council’s use of Jude’s Clock-matching invention brings coercion and inequality into the story: people unable to afford the new Clocks are seized for the Council’s purposes. Parvin and Hawke are aboard a ship carrying Radicals, while unexplained deaths before Clocks run out add another mystery. The setup links questions of leadership and allegiance to a speculative system that shapes people’s lives.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in Christian science fiction.
  • Readers following the Out of Time series, especially those looking for its second installment.
  • Readers interested in speculative stories involving social control, unequal access, and leadership.

Book overview

What happens when you live longer than you wanted to?

Parvin Blackwater wanted to die, but now she's being called to be a leader. The only problem is, no one wants to follow.

The Council uses Jude's Clock-matching invention to force "new-and-improved" Clocks on the public. Those who can't afford one are packed into boxcars like cattle and used for the Council's purposes.

Parvin and Hawke find themselves on a cargo ship of Radicals headed out to sea. What will the Council do to them? And why are people suddenly dying before their Clocks have zeroed-out?

Volume 2 of 3 in the "Out of Time" Series.
