Description
Mathematician Dr. Luci Gaudiano is abducted to post-apocalyptic 2191, where survivors need her to complete equations she'll create nine years in her future-equations that triggered nuclear annihilation. As time portals collapse and a revolutionary wages war against the city's immortal ruler, Luci uncovers layer upon layer of temporal deception. With the help of a devoted technician who awakens unexpected feelings amid the chaos, Luci races to unravel the truth before temporal paradoxes destroy everything. How far would you go to save a world that shouldn't exist?
Drift Pattern delivers hard science fiction at its finest-complex, emotional, and utterly unputdownable. Where mathematics meets destiny, and the price of knowledge may be everything.

Person
George Wright Padgett is a multi-genre author from Texas who grew up immersed in science fiction literature and comic books. After beginning his writing career with children's picture books, Padgett shifted to darker, more complex themes across multiple genres. His published works span science fiction, mystery, detective fiction, and horror, demonstrating remarkable versatility in storytelling approach and subject matter.
When not crafting intricate narratives, Padgett balances multiple creative pursuits as a jazz piano player, graphic artist, and playwright. His technical background in commercial graphic arts informs his understanding of visual storytelling, while his musical training contributes to the rhythmic pacing evident in his prose. As a devoted husband and father of two, he brings authentic emotional depth to his character relationships, particularly evident in DRIFT PATTERN's exploration of parental loss and sacrifice.
