When a routine experimental run at the Spallation Neutron Source in Laurel Ridge goes catastrophically wrong, the fabric of reality begins to unravel. High-energy neutrons don't just scatter; they fracture spacetime, flinging scientists into a dizzying array of alternate histories. They find themselves grappling with worlds where the Manhattan Project faltered, leading to a drastically different geopolitical landscape, and others where nuclear power became the sole energy source, reshaping civilization in unimaginable ways. In one chilling timeline, Laurel Ridge itself is reduced to a desolate ghost town, a stark reminder of paths not taken. To prevent the complete collapse of the multiverse into utter chaos, these scientists must embark on a perilous journey through these divergent realities. They must navigate the echoes of decisions made and unmade, seeking a way to repair the temporal fracture. This gripping science fiction adventure explores the profound impact of pivotal historical events, challenging readers to consider the delicate balance of our own timeline and the infinite possibilities that lie just beyond the veil of our known universe.
