Narrated by the Audie Award-Winning Narrators Noah Michael Levine and Erin deWard!

The last survivors. The last chance. The last leap through time....

"Engrossing doomsday thriller spliced with heart, humor, and second chances."

~Publishers Weekly 

In a crumbling biodome surrounded by rising seas and swarms of microdrones, humanity's last survivors cling to hope. For Isabel, a dying scientist, and Diego, the man she loves, time is running out. But when Isabel stumbles upon a long-lost time bridge, the possibility of changing the past emerges, and the stakes rise dramatically—leading to impossible choices and heart-wrenching sacrifices.

In a world on the brink, time is the ultimate weapon.

Hive is a gripping, emotionally charged tale that explores survival, love, and the consequences of playing with time. Orton masterfully blends action and intrigue with intimate character moments, particularly through the poignant relationship between Isabel and Diego. Their love story is at the heart of the book, adding emotional depth and tension to their fight for humanity's survival.

Fans of upmarket science fiction and character-driven thrillers will find themselves engrossed in this tale of second chances and the heavy cost of rewriting the past.
