Book 3 of The Velocity of Us Trilogy The fight is over. The consequences are not. The sport has adapted-but adaptation doesn't mean acceptance. Oscar Piastri enters a new season carrying more than expectation. He's no longer underestimated, no longer ignored. Every decision he makes is scrutinised not just for performance, but for meaning. Integrity has become his signature-and in a world built on speed, that makes him both valuable and dangerous. When success finally comes within reach again, it arrives with conditions that threaten to rewrite everything he stood for. Emilia Clarke is no longer inside the system, yet her influence is impossible to erase. The structures she helped build are being tested by ambition, politics, and those who learned just enough from her work to weaponise it. When cracks appear in the very safeguards meant to protect the sport, she's faced with a question she never wanted to answer: do you intervene again-or let the system prove what it's become without you? Distance doesn't weaken them. Power doesn't reunite them. And love, tested outside the fire that forged it, must learn a new shape. Because the final battle isn't about resistance. It's about legacy. About what survives when the spotlight moves on. About whether integrity can still win when the cost is everything you've built. In the final book of the trilogy, truth is no longer disruptive-it's decisive. And the future is shaped not by what was changed... but by what remains.

Forward | Rewind to Tomorrow [Michael Jackson]

"It causes your immune system to turn against you," I explained gently. The color terrifyingly drained from his face as he stared at his knuckles. "I have a spot," he whispered, his voice scraping like glass. "Right here." He let out a strangled noise as the stadium footage buffered. "Riley!" he shrieked, covering his burning face while peering through his fingers at his future self. "Those pants leave absolutely nothing to the imagination!" He went so unnaturally still I thought his heart had stopped beating. His charcoal-stained fingers curled into tight fists. "Fifty," he whispered, scanning the fatal summary on the glowing screen. "I am... I am gone at fifty." What if the only way to save your future was to completely abandon your past? In 1982, Michael Jackson is suffocating. Trapped behind his family's compound gates and drowning under industry pressure, the rising star just wants a life of peace and normalcy. The universe answers-violently ripping him from his timeline and dropping him onto the bedroom rug of Riley, a freelance graphic designer in the year 2025. Stranded forty-three years in the future, Michael must face a world that already knows his tragic history. But Riley fiercely refuses to let that history repeat. She offers him the anonymous, ordinary life he always craved, rebuilding his shattered confidence brick by brick and teaching him the radical concept of self-love. More importantly, she arms him with the ultimate weapon: the brutal truth. She gives him the exact names of the snakes hiding in his 1982 backyard, the upcoming betrayals, and the devastating tragedies he is destined to face. When the universe inevitably pulls him back, Michael is no longer the timid pop star terrified of his shadow. He is a king preparing to claim his throne, knowing exactly how to rewrite music history and what it takes to survive. But armed with the future, changing his fate might cost him the one person who taught him how to live.
