For your pleasure (or edification, which ever 😉), the following presents a timeline for Book One of The Psiarch Chronicles, Psiarch: Rising.
This timeline comprises all items directly pertaining to the background, characters and events of the book–except, of course, those items that would spoil away minor and major revelations/story plot points planned for Book Two (which I'm presently writing) and Book Three. Inline links to pertinent articles already published here at Psiarch's Hideout are also provided for further information/reading.
However, be warned if you are presently reading, or haven't yet read, Psiarch: Rising...
