'Alex Woolf creates an incredible world - his writing is so cinematic that you can picture the Chronosphere in your head as you read.' Amazon reviewer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

In the late 22nd century, people can extend their lifespans, or simply take a holiday from their lives, by buying themselves extra months or years in the Chronosphere, a place where time moves half a million times slower than in the real world. This series follows the adventures of Raffi Delgado and his friends in the thrilling, dangerous world of the Chronosphere.

On his eighteenth birthday, Raffi Delgado buys himself twelve months in the Chronosphere. At first it seems like paradise: constant good weather, luxury apartments with electronic MAID service, and the knowledge that he will return home just a minute after he left. But after a spate of mysterious disappearances and some strange behaviour by some of the MAIDs, Raffi and his friends start to uncover the dark truths bubbling beneath the surface of the Chronosphere.

With his friends by his side, Raffi must navigate the shadows lurking in this timeless realm to survive. Can he escape before his minute runs out?

What readers are saying about Chronosphere:

‘His concept of time travel is meticulously thought out and you find yourself swept along effortlessly by the story. A great achievement for a first-time novelist…. Highly recommended!’ Cath Senker, Amazon reviewer

‘Reminiscent of a YA version of Matrix. A must for the YA sci-fiers out there, who enjoy action, twists and turns and don't mind being left hanging at the end for the next book.’ Goodreads reviewer

‘A blend of high-tech and rural picnicking, with copious odd-sounding drinks, lots of choices, and suitably memorable hourglass-shaped central habitat, it's a place teen readers could easily see themselves in. In fact, and this is high praise, I could easily see this sitting along Scott Westerfeld's future-set teen sci-fantasies.’ John Lloyd, The Book Bag

‘This trilogy is the best series of books for young adults I’ve read since – dare I say it – the (later) Harry Potter novels. Cracking stuff.’ Fire Dragon

‘I loved the whole concept – who wouldn’t like to buy themselves some more time?’ Goodreads reviewer

‘I was hooked from the first page of this book.’ Juniper’s Jungle

'Couldn't put it down - can't wait for the next one. Innovative, absolutely credible sci-fi. Altogether a fabulous read.’ Emile Kelly, Amazon reviewer

‘I was drawn completely into this futuristic landscape… However as events turn sinister and a new reality is exposed, the story took hold and I couldn't put down this 'fugitives in sci-fi' thriller … which is right up there in terms of quality with Carnegie shortlisters I have read.’ Dan Salaman, Amazon reviewer
