IN TIME is a The Darkest Minds e-novella featuring an older character (25 year old Gabe) who is a would-be skip tracer. He happens upon Zu (one of my favorite characters from TDM) and sets out to turn her in to collect a reward.
I won't tell you much about the plot beyond that, only that Zu is amazing as usual (she'd save you a lot of money on gas), and Bracken knows how to rip out her readers' hearts. WHY, Bracken, WHY?!
IN TIME could theoretically be read as a stand-alone, but there are several points of intersection with TDM that make the experience all the richer. I really liked how some of my worldbuilding questions from book 1 were answered here (especially regarding how parents would be willing to give up their children, especially the relatively harmless Greens).
I also wanted to let you know about an upcoming IN TIME event!
