From New York Times bestselling author Douglas E. Richards, comes TIME FRAME, the mind-blowing standalone sequel to SPLIT SECOND, the science fiction thriller with a stunningly unique take on time travel, where traveling fractions of a second back in time can change the fate of humanity. TIME FRAME is the breathtaking standalone sequel to SPLIT SECOND, the runaway bestseller that reinvented the time travel genre. A daring attempt to go back a split second in time to destroy Kim Jong-un. A discovery so consequential it dwarfs even time travel. And a treacherous enemy bent on revenge. Lee Cargill is the head of Q5,a secret organization that can send objects a split second back into the past. And while this seems utterly useless, it turns out to be the most powerful capability the world has ever known. Those who control it can transform civilization--or destroy it entirely. When Cargill sends Aaron Blake, his most formidable operative, on an unauthorized mission to destroy Kim Jong-un, all hell breaks loose. As Blake battles for his life, his chances of thwarting the North Korean tyrant plummet. But they're about to get far worse. Because China has learned of Q5 technology, and they'll stop at nothing to hunt Blake down . . . And all the while, a powerful enemy has reemerged. An enemy who seeks to use time travel technology to achieve a twisted, psychopathic vision that will leave millions dead--starting with Lee Cargill and the entire Q5 team.
