TimeLock 2: The Kyoto Conspiracy
Available September 26th
"A deftly crafted dystopian style science fiction suspense thriller of a novel, "TimeLock" by the team of Howard and Peter Berk is a compulsive page turner of a read from cover to cover and unreservedly recommended . . ." --Midwest Book Review (TimeLock)

TimeLock stole twenty years from Morgan Eberly’s life. A terrifying new version of the radical technology might just end it.
Two years after the events of TimeLock, a new and unhinged president of the United States approves an immoral and illegal plan to develop a weaponized form of the TimeLock process for use on the battlefield. But only one man, geneticist Dr. Lionel Garvey, can execute the program. When both he and his wife Kiyoko are kidnapped in Kyoto, Japan, Morgan and FBI Agent Janine Price receive a frantic text from Kiyoko’s brother, Yoshi.
Realizing they can’t trust anyone in their own government, Morgan and Janine fly to Japan and team up with Yoshi for an unauthorized rescue mission. After a daring raid of a research facility in Japan, the trio realize they have only delayed the president's insane plan. They must now execute a dangerous assault on a frozen corner of Siberia to accomplish their mission.
Can Morgan and Janine stop the president from unleashing a newly weaponized version of TimeLock before it’s too late?
