Sci-Fi time travel book translated from French
I’ve been trying to find this book forever and I would really appreciate any help finding the title after I lost it. For some reason the name “Time Industries” stuck with me but no books seem to match the details below.
I remember that the book started with the protagonist in a car traveling through the desert or the middle of nowhere and the ac blowing, they were going somewhere to meet someone important. Eventually they were at a meeting table and if I remember they were talking about signing a contract on a tablet for some reason. I believe that the protagonist was going on a space mission.
I remember that it was translated from French or possibly another European language and I believe it was sold in a Barnes and Nobles. The genre was definitely science fiction due to the time travel and space elements mentioned on the back.
