Hamza Ansari asked Tim Tigner:

I loved the Price of Time! Is Stolen Thoughts a direct sequel to it?

Tim Tigner I can't answer your question with a simple yes or no. Kindly allow me to explain.

I spent a lot of time crafting Stolen Thoughts in a way that makes it both a sequel to The Price of Time, and a stand alone novel. Equally satisfying to people who enjoyed and want more of The Price of Time, and to those who did not read it. Here's how.

Like The Price of Time, Stolen Thoughts revolves around the drama and ethical issues of making one of humanity's great breakthroughs. Things we've all mused about without really analyzing. In TPOT that was the consequences of learning how to halt aging, in ST it's learning how to read minds.

The plots are designed to be similarly intellectually and ethically engaging, as well as suspenseful and thrilling. I specifically wanted Stolen Thoughts to be just as appealing to book clubs as The Price of Time has proven to be.

The heroes from The Price of Time (not named her to avoid spoilers) appear in Stolen Thoughts in major roles, but the main character is new.

In short, since you loved TPOT, I'm sure you'll love ST, including spending more time with old friends on fresh but similar escapades.

Thank you for you kind words and attention, Hamza.
