A FUTURE WITHOUT
By M.D. Waters

GENRE: Sci-fi, Thriller
LOGLINE:

An ambitious special agent’s race to save the present, forces her husband to choose between preserving his dismal future or repairing his unfortunate past... The wrong choice will save her life.   

SYNOPSIS:

During her husband’s last tour of duty overseas, Sydney Donovan buried herself in cyber-crimes for the Cyber Intelligence Section of the Secret Service. Now Michael has returned home for good just as her case blows out of control, sending her on a cross-country chase. The cyber-terrorist “X” has elevated his crimes to murder in an effort to erase the trail he left behind, and she's at the top of his list. A problem she can’t solve when her own husband, whom evidence proves to be elsewhere, keeps getting in the way.

Michael Donovan spent the last decade trying to forget the tragedy that took his wife. Not an easy thing to do when his job forces him to face the past every day. DC’s fledgling Department of Aeon Operations sends him all over Time preventing crimes that threaten to change the future. But his new case unknowingly sends him to the one year he would erase from existence given the right reasons. He quickly realizes how intimately tied his case is to Sydney’s, and there’s no avoiding the woman he lost. Even if he wanted to.

Michael must choose between the fate of his present and the woman he loves. And for the first time in his career, he’s not sure the future is worth it.

Noel Thompson

Add a comma between present and forces. I read it "save present forces". I love the "wrong choice..." Awesome! So who is the active character the special agent or the husband? If it's the husband - who is he?

M.D. Waters

Thanks Noel Thompson! Technically the wife/special agent the active character, but a good portion of the point of view belongs to the husband. He's a time travel agent and his case mingles with hers.
