Author Description

Trapped inside a bubble universe the size of a broom closet, eighteen-year-old Raedyn Summers is running out of air and water. At the former site of a defunct tech startup in Palo Alto, the earth underneath an abandoned warehouse is decaying at an alarming rate. Scientists are saying it’s a rip in the fabric of the universe. They’re saying it’s spreading. Back at home, an inexplicable voicemail sent from outside the boundaries of space-time launches Gabriel Rockwell on a desperate quest to rescue the girl he loves from a death sentence in limbo. Fleeing both the FBI and the U.S. military, Gabe steels himself for a daring, one-shot attempt at “creating” Raedyn back into existence. There’s a hitch, though: the animals he practices on are all coming back screwed up, like they’re missing something essential. But when Raedyn’s tiny universe—population of one—begins collapsing in on itself with her still inside it, Gabe must make a choice: let her slip into oblivion, or play God and create her again—maybe this time without a soul.
