Newly relocated to the charming Alaskan town of Caribou Bay after bidding farewell to his best friends Morgan and Janine Eberly, Yoshi Ito inadvertently prompts his boss, geneticist Dr. Emory Layton, to try a new genetic acceleration protocol in a local prison. Using technology from the TimeLock process, the experiment goes awry.

As the killer begins to exact revenge upon his enemies, local helicopter pilot Tom Brooks recruits the Eberlys’ help to stop the unstoppable force before the residents of Caribou Bay—and possibly the whole world—are forever at the killer’s mercy.

Time Lock Series Book 2

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?

“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)

Time Lock

Time Lock Series Book 1

When everyman Morgan Eberly is arrested for a murder he didn’t commit, he’s subjected to an experimental new technology that instantly ages prisoners the number of years of their sentence.

An innocent man. A radical punishment. The clock is ticking . . .

A sci-fi-tinged action-adventure with heart and humor, TimeLock is the first in a new series of novellas set in the crime-ridden near future where a bold new technology transforms the justice system and challenges America’s moral compass. Only one problem—what happens if you’re innocent?

What Readers are saying about the series:

TimeLock is a high-octane action thriller with a classic feel, reminiscent of Michael Crichton or Tom Clancy. It’s familiar, but in all the right ways.

The central concept is brilliant . . . The novella is tightly paced, and there’s not a dull moment. . . .The introduction is particularly engaging, with an absolutely killer prologue that sucks you in right from the start. Reading TimeLock, I felt like I was watching a movie . . . It’s a crowd-pleasing blockbuster of a novella, with all the thrills you’d hope for, and a cracking start to a series. – Read the full review

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Whoa!! Okay so this was awesome and I have to say first off- I hope like hell someone picks this up to make a movie or a show out of it!! This was a super interesting premise so I was hooked. It moved at a great pace and I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. -Book Blogger @gryffindorbookishnerd

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I vastly enjoyed this quick read . . . The writing was keenly honed and smartly detailed . . . In sum, was a well-plotted and shrewdly paced action-packed thriller featuring slightly frayed characters and storylines that were cleverly laced together with wry humor and witty snark.
