In the not-so-distant future of 2044, time is no longer linear—it’s a battlefield. The Temporal Security Division (TSD) is humanity’s last defense against temporal chaos, tasked with tracking down and neutralizing anomalies: famous figures from history mysteriously appearing in the present and altering the course of time. At the center of this temporal storm stands Agent Jonathan Mercer—sharp, disciplined, and trusted. But as his missions unfold, Mercer is forced to question everything he knows about the job… and himself.
Mercer’s latest assignment is unlike anything the TSD has faced: from Adolf Hitler attempting a fourth Reich revival in Berlin, to Nikola Tesla weaponizing future tech, and even Jesus Christ sparking philosophical rebellions, historical icons are surfacing with motivations that blur the line between villainy and vision. Yet the greater danger lies beneath these incursions—a growing instability within Mercer himself. He experiences memory loss, hallucinations, and déjà vu far too precise to be coincidental.
As clues accumulate, Mercer discovers the existence of a classified TSD experiment: the Recursion Protocol, a looped cloning project designed to anchor key agents in time. He is not the original Mercer. Worse, he may be one of many failed iterations.
Guided by haunting messages from his presumed-dead ex-wife Zara—herself looped across time—and aided reluctantly by his TSD monitor Kamara, Mercer begins piecing together the truth behind Project Genesis. Along the way, he encounters alternate versions of himself, including Mercer-Prime, who sacrifices his timeline for the stability of another.
The heart of the mystery centers around a singular moment in 1978—The Concord Moment—where everything appears to have originated. Here, Mercer confronts a chilling revelation: the existence of The Architect, a possibly post-human intelligence orchestrating the recursion loops for its own design, selecting which versions of Mercer should live, die, or repeat.
As the lines between past, present, and possible futures blur, Agents of Chronos becomes more than a time-travel thriller—it’s a harrowing quest for identity, agency, and truth. In a world where time can be rewritten, Jonathan Mercer must decide who he truly is… before someone else writes him out of history altogether.
