The Silence Of Time

In a galaxy ruled by Finisterra, an all-powerful corporation that controls everything from resources to human lives, Marcus Fletcher has spent his life in the shadows of a remote mining facility. But when a near-fatal escape through a collapsing wormhole leaves him with the ability to manipulate time, Marcus finds himself hunted-not only by Finisterra, who would exploit his power, but by something else. Something is watching him, lurking just beyond the edge of reality.

As Marcus struggles to control his dangerous ability, he is drawn into a rebellion led by the Freehand Collective, a hidden faction fighting against Finisterra's oppressive grip. Torn between his desire for solitude and the hope of freeing others, Marcus faces a daunting choice: use his power to help the rebellion or disappear from a world that has already taken too much from him.

But as the unseen presence tightens its watch, Marcus begins to wonder: how much time does he have left before it catches up with him?

[Important update: The corporate entity that once was called "The Company" is now known as "Finisterra"--- also the book has been renamed from "Beyond Chains" to "The Silence Of Time"]
