Description
At a secret facility in the wilds of Kazakhstan, the chance discovery of an exotic metamaterial has torn open the lid on a whole new branch of physics. Next will come wave after wave of societal disruptions.
But are we ready, or are we on the cusp of repeating a truly cosmic mistake?
That’s the question facing Nigel Tanner, a cynical purveyor of leaked documents who finds himself in the improbable company of four tech billionaires united only by their fear of the metamaterial’s cataclysmic potential. Led by the mercurial Bobby H, they’ve undertaken an ambitious plan to prevent this dangerous new technology from being weaponized, or worse.
Nigel already distrusted the lot of them, and that was before someone tipped off the world’s superpowers to their activities. Now, as they flee imprisonment and almost certain torture, Nigel must solve the mystery of their betrayal. But first, they must all come to terms with an unthinkable prospect.
To keep the world safe, they may just have to leave it behind.
