What this book is about
When a physicist stumbles upon a stable portal to a parallel dimension, the discovery immediately attracts the attention of those who want to control, weaponize, or suppress it. As factions compete and danger escalates, the scientist must navigate the ethical questions of a discovery that could transform civilization—or destroy it. Conrad's science fiction thriller balances conceptual ambition with action-driven pacing.
