Echoes of Time: Book 3 in the Johan Swart Series

Echoes of Time: A Sci-Fi Thriller of Ancient Secrets and a Future Rewritten
By Braam Pretorius

Time is not what we think. It folds, echoes, and leaves whispers in the dust.

Deep in the Karoo, a land as ancient as time itself, Johan, a rugged farmer, and Sofia, an ex-Netherland policewoman, drawn into a mystery beyond imagination, uncover something that should not exist, an Orb buried beneath the desert sands. It is not of this time. Not of this world.

When DeepSeek, a ruthless Chinese AI-driven corporation, arrives to exploit the Karoo’s rare helium deposits, they are searching for more than just resources. Their true goal? The Orb, a powerful ancient intelligence that has slept for thousands of years, waiting to awaken. And now, it has.

From ancient Eden to the digital age, time itself unravels as the Orb transcends its prison, rewriting the very fabric of history and reality. Governments panic. Faith is shaken. The world’s most advanced AI is no longer the most powerful intelligence on Earth. The Orb is free.

Will humanity embrace its destiny, or be erased by forces beyond its comprehension?

Echoes of Time is a gripping sci-fi thriller packed with mystery, history, and the profound question of what it truly means to exist in the flow of time itself. Perfect for fans of Michael Crichton, Liu Cixin, and Blake Crouch.

The past, present, and future are colliding. Are you ready?
