"The explosive sequel to the bestselling The Turing Protocol asks a chilling question: what happens when the power to rewrite the past becomes a weapon?
Nautilus is no ordinary machine. Created by Alan Turing during World War II, it can send messages eight weeks back in time—a discovery so dangerous that Turing established strict protocols for its use. Only members of his bloodline can operate it, and only to prevent global catastrophe.
For decades, the rules have held.
Until now.
Annabelle Turing has inherited custody of Nautilus, unaware that the man she trusts most—her husband, Edward—has secrets of his own. Edward sees the machine not as a safeguard for humanity, but as the key to unimaginable wealth, influence and control.
But he isn’t the only one hunting Nautilus.
Across the globe, shadowy factions are closing in, determined to exploit the machine’s power to manipulate markets, topple governments and reshape history itself. As rival forces converge, Annabelle is thrust into a deadly race against time to protect the one invention capable of saving the world—or destroying it forever.
Because once the past can be controlled, no future is safe."

Humanity's best kept secret may be its best hope for survival.
In the midst of World War Two, Enigma codebreaker Alan Turing finds himself on the brink of a discovery that will change the world: a way to send a message back into the recent past. But when his invention successfully averts disaster on D-Day, the danger it poses in the wrong hands becomes terrifyingly clear. As Turing's enemies close in, only one decision is possible: Nautilus must be kept hidden from the world, safe in the care of the only person he can trust.
Seventy-five years later, Annabelle McIntosh's life is upended when she learns she will become the latest custodian of the greatest secret of the modern age – Turing's Nautilus machine. Following in her family's footsteps, and bound by Turing's strict principles governing the use of his creation, Annabelle is soon faced with the same impossible choices. Nautilus has the power to prevent catastrophe, but the wrong decision could have devastating consequences.
When the stakes are at their highest, will using the machine save the world – or destroy it?
