Separated by ten thousand years, a team of scientists and their test subject must work together to save the human species―before it’s too late . . .
Intrigued? Well read on to discover an introduction from the author and an excerpt from Tim Weed’s The Afterlife Project, which is out June 3rd 2025.
The year is 10151. For the last ten thousand years, Nick Hindman—a microbiologist and member of the prestigious research team the Centauri Project—slept in a state of cryogenic suspension as a quantum-powered system originally designed for interstellar travel propelled him forward through the millennia, a test subject for an emergency project to secure the survival of the human species by colonizing not the stars, but a deep future Earth. His protocol? 1) Survive. 2) Find if there are any other humans left alive. 3) Hope against hope for the arrival of a second test subject, a female.
Featuring a plausible mechanism for one-way time travel, a voyage across the post-apocalyptic seas, and lovers separated by ten thousand years, The Afterlife Project is a meditation on the future of humanity and the natural world we have unbalanced, the true meaning of deep time, and the possibility of hope in the darkness.
