An intriguing and unique entry in the crowded dystopian landscape. Desperate to find Frank, Polly is forced to navigate this brave new world with no idea whom she can trust. Polly is in Galveston, in the newly christened America, saddled with years of service to TimeRaiser. With flashes between past and present, An Ocean of Minutes tells the story of Frank and Polly and why Polly would be willing to make such a monumental decision. She finds the world greatly changed, with the U.S. But when Polly wakes up, she discovers she’s been sent to 1998, with no means to get in touch with Frank. Polly signs up to travel to 1993, planning to reunite with Frank when she does. She holds an MFA from the University of Houston. This is Polly’s only recourse when her boyfriend, Frank, falls ill in 1981. Thea Lims novel AN OCEAN OF MINUTES is forthcoming in Summer 2018.

But the solution is inventive: people whose loved ones are sick can sign up to travel to the future and work as bonded servants for a company called TimeRaiser in exchange for the cure (also from the future) for their loved ones. Richardson In the vein of The Time Travelers. At first blush, the premise of Lim’s dystopian novel is a familiar one: a deadly flu pandemic sweeps across the world in the early 1980s.
