What would happen if a time traveler lived in a world where time could not easily be changed and if it was changed, it might destroy everything but himself?

Pilot X just wants to fly a time ship. Specifically the Verity. But the Guardians of Alenda, rulers of his people, throw him in the middle of a time war. When he makes peace they don’t seem pleased. In fact, his own people treat him like the enemy.

Pilot X was Tom Merritt’s National Novel Writing Month project in November 2014. Tom Merritt is the host of several podcasts about tech and geeky things.
