Future In Doubt is a standalone speculative time travel science fiction thriller, set in the modern world, with elements of mystery and romance. Perfect for teens, young and older adults. A freshly engaged young couple full of boundless optimism, drive, and talent have their love ripped apart through a chance encounter with a dying man who claims to be from the future. Before he dies, the man warns Essie and Jonah about a coming global disaster – even giving a specific date – and declares that they alone are the only hope left to stop it. Essie believes the dying man. Jonah does not. And because Essie believes him, she throws away her promising career and the life she and Jonah were preparing to build, all in the far-fetched and probably futile attempt to stop a looming disaster she knows almost nothing about. But Essie’s tireless commitment, courage, and flair for the dramatic propel her to do and learn whatever it takes to discover the meaning behind the clues given by the dying man. She faces nothing less than convincing the entire world that life as we know will be destroyed if they don’t grapple with what she comes to believe is the cause of civilization’s destruction. But what if she’s wrong? Even if the dying man was from the future, what if Essie misinterpreted what he told her? And what about Jonah and her flailing love for him? When Jonah’s hard-driving boss begins pressuring him to silence Essie’s efforts, she realizes Jonah’s company has something to do with the coming disaster. Essie’s journey leads her to pits of utter loneliness and despair, media mockery, online ridicule, and threats on her life as the date of the predicted cataclysm draws near. With Essie driven by rising desperation and a shadowy and uncertain grasp of what's true as she stands alone against disbelieving, ridiculing humanity, Earth's future totters on the brink. With thrills, fun surprises, betrayals, and twists amid the withering dying bonds of love, Future In Doubt is written in a cinematic, crowd-pleasing, and fast paced style that will entertain and satisfy broad swaths of readers. From Reader's "Daniel Magill has a lot of different plates spinning in his novel Future In Doubt, but does incredibly well in making sure none of them are toppled prematurely. What I love most is that we do not definitely know as readers if Essie is right on the earthquake prophecy, and Magill takes us along for a prepper's dream ride as she dives head first into it. We know what is happening with Jonah and some of what Randolph is up to, but it's always a click or two behind any revelation—with excellent twists served up even after. There are some legitimate scumbags in the story and Essie is well and truly on her own, building her up as a persistent and strong female protagonist. Magill has a handle on what relationship fallout looks like and, better still, how relationships might be rebuilt. The writing is clean and tight, and the entire time-travel element is very creative."
