Quantum Skip  (English, Paperback, Vijjwal Singh)

A patriot acting as a pivotal link in the chain of command tries to earn his share of profits from a corporate-temporal cold war that rages between two tech giants, and invests the money into something he believes will bring peace to the never-ending conflict in his mind. A field operative wakes up everyday from a sleep that was induced by the thoughts of the greater good that might come into effect because of the morally questionable choices he made; to a morning following more of the similarly morally questionable choices. A diplomat swiftly climbs the political ladder, but finds herself in confrontation with the very people who helped her in doing so, when she decides the climb has a slow pace and patience wouldn't help in continuing it. But while entangled in the intricacies of their minds and thoughts, how much can you trust the little that they choose to reveal? In a world where technology dominates the morphing nature of interests, espionage of the most sensitive of information regarding international security is consumed as entertainment by the common people, and the concepts of trust and humanitarian values is non existent to those put in charge, three, or five, survivors play their turns by moving what they see as pieces of a chess game that decides their fate, but are actually the very strings that orchestrated their every move to begin with, treating them as the puppets that they are in a nasty temporal loop.
