Synopsis

When CERN accidentally opens a portal to a parallel Earth, Max Rivette volunteers to cross over and observe. His mission is simple: gather information and return.

Instead, he's arrested on arrival.

The parallel world looks like ours-same geography, same history up to a point-but their society evolved differently. A society governed by only twelve rules. No corporations. No hierarchy. They've built something that shouldn't work, and they're terrified that our world wants to destroy it.

Trapped between two realities, Max becomes the bridge between two versions of humanity before the CIA attempts to hide the truth.

A hard science fiction thriller about what we'd risk to create a better world.
