In a quiet workshop, a father shapes wood with steady hands, believing stability is the highest form of love. His son chooses a different craft, building stories instead of furniture, determined to follow his own uncertain path. Between them grows a silence shaped not by cruelty, but by fear.
When ambition collides with responsibility, both men must confront the dreams they buried and the risks they avoided. As the father takes an unexpected leap in his work and the son wrestles with doubt in his writing, they begin to see each other with new clarity.

About the author
Kyle Hambster
Kyle Hambster is a storyteller and craftsman of atmosphere, drawn to the quiet tension between technology and memory. With a background in film restoration and an obsession with mechanical design, Rickel writes about the places where progress and nostalgia collide where gears, circuits, and human hearts still turn in sync. The Geometry of Gears is his debut work, a meditation on time, purpose, and the enduring beauty of things made by hand. He lives surrounded by vintage machines and unfinished manuscripts, always chasing the sound of a perfect click.View all audiobooks by Kyle Hambster
