Product Description
They say time can't stand still. They're wrong.
Siggy Lindquist was looking for something better than the life she left behind. What she found was a job at the Institute for the Criminally Insane, home to the galaxy's deadliest criminals -- human monsters caged for the rest of their unnatural lives.
Now all Siggy wants to do is get through each day with her safety and sanity intact. But when two of the Institute's most dangerous inmates take an interest in her, for their own twisted reasons, she is caught up in a potential war between two races -- a war that only a forgotten secret from her past can prevent. Desperate to avert disaster, Siggy finds herself in a galaxy-spanning race against time -- and time stands still for no one.
Or does it?
"A stunner of a novel from a very talented writer. This was a great book, one I couldn't put down -- which makes it a rare treasure indeed."
- NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author Michael A Stackpole
"A mind-bending story from a talented new author ... Science Fiction with a brand new twist."
-William C. Dietz, author of BY BLOOD ALONE
BROKEN TIME (by Emily Devenport, originally writing as Maggy Thomas) was nominated for the Philip K. Dick Award.
