Publisher Description
The greatest weapon of World War II was never a bomb. It was a machine that could rewrite the past.
During the darkest days of World War II, legendary codebreaker Alan Turing creates Nautilus—a secret machine capable of sending messages backwards through time.
One message helps secure victory on D-Day.
But Turing quickly discovers a terrifying truth: history is fragile. Every change creates consequences. Every warning rewrites the future.
Knowing Nautilus could become the most dangerous weapon ever invented, Turing hides it from the world and entrusts its secret to the mother of his hidden child.
For generations, the burden passes from one heir to the next.
Across decades of war, espionage, betrayal, and impossible moral choices, the Turing family must decide when—and whether—to use the machine's extraordinary power. A single message could save millions of lives. A single mistake could unleash catastrophe.
As powerful forces close in and the battle for Nautilus intensifies, one question becomes impossible to ignore:
If you had the power to change history, would you dare use it?
A gripping blend of historical fiction, science fiction, espionage, and conspiracy thriller, this page-turning adventure is perfect for fans of Dan Brown, Matthew Reilly, Blake Crouch, and Andy Weir.
Packed with secret histories, hidden legacies, time-bending twists, and world-changing stakes, this is a thriller that asks what happens when humanity's greatest weapon isn't a bomb—but time itself.
Customer Reviews
Left feeling meh
Firstly, whilst I appreciate the authors “what if” approach I am still unsure if I should be offended or not by the fact that he has created a physical relationship between two people, one whom was gay and arrested and punished for their sexuality in a hideous way. I just think creating an alternative history for Alan Turing in this way degrades his experience as a queer man. The plot is interesting but it didn’t really need the anchor of Hut 8, Bletchley Park and Alan Turing to deliver the story. The hypothesis that only someone of Turing intelligence was able to create the Nautilus is I think, not really doing it for me. The book over all is somewhat predictable after Turing death. I won’t be reaching for the next book.

There’s a reason it’s only worth $0.99. It’s like reading a Wikipedia entry.
