Before Alandra

In the year 4010, Alan enjoys a seemingly perfect life in the glass skyscrapers of New York. With a corporate job as a chip programmer, a loving girlfriend, and a luxurious apartment, everything seems to be going his way. But a single, reckless decision turns his world upside down. Driven by a desperate need for more, Alan makes a choice that changes his life forever. When his actions draw the ire of local governmental authorities, he finds himself exiled to a distant penal colony on Kalara IV, 4,300 light-years from Earth. Stripped of everything he once knew, Alan must navigate the unknown and confront the consequences of his choices. As he adjusts to his new reality, Alan begins to uncover deeper truths about himself and the universe. "Before Alandra" is a gripping prequel to "Future Imperfect," the first book in the "Non-Linear Time" trilogy, setting the stage for an epic journey where redemption, survival, and the mysteries of time await.
