What if World Wars I and II Never Happened?
When Smithsonian Museum historian Evelyn Roth discovers a mysterious device in the museum’s forgotten archives, she unlocks more than just another piece of history. She finds the potential to rewrite it entirely.
Evelyn has spent much of her life studying the assassination that triggered World War I, the single gunshot in Sarajevo that destroyed her Habsburg ancestors and plunged the world into a century of conflict. But when the device reveals itself to be a time-travel mechanism showing her the events as they actually unfolded, Evelyn faces an impossible choice: remain a passive observer of history’s tragedies, or risk everything to prevent them.
Her decision changes everything.
Awakening in an alternate 2025 where her family rules a thriving Habsburg Empire and the great wars never occurred, Evelyn believes she has created paradise. Advanced quantum technology has eliminated aging and disease. Art and culture flourish under imperial patronage. The Holocaust never happened, and millions of lives were saved.
But paradise has a price. The same quantum technology that granted humanity these gifts has fallen into the hands of a brilliant scientist who has spent decades using cellular manipulation to control the minds of entire populations.
A World Remade weaves meticulous historical research with cutting-edge speculative fiction, exploring the dangerous allure of trying to perfect the past. Part time-travel thriller, part alternate history epic, it asks the ultimate question: if you could rewrite history’s greatest tragedies, what new horrors might you accidentally create?
Some bullets change everything. Some choices echo across time. And sometimes, the world you save isn’t the one you meant to create.

“Artificial Awakening” is a book ahead of its time. It made me think deeply about the future of humanity. It’s extremely well written and the character development is top-notch. I loved every scary second of it!
