When Julie's mother decides it's time to let go of the family home in a failing suburb and move to the city to be closer to work and her new beau, Julie decides to take matters into her own hands. Her best friend, who she's mostly been interacting with via virtual reality for the past decade, is part of the colony mission to Proxima Centauri. Julie Riley is two years too young to get out from under her mother's thumb, and what does it matter? She's over-educated, under-employed, and kept mostly numb by her pharma emplant. In this strange new world, Darwin discovers what he could never find on his own: friends, family, love, a mother he lost years before, and a younger sister he never had.Life goes on for the billions left behind after the humanity-saving colony mission to Proxima Centauri leaves Earth orbit. Yet the Thread's pull is almost irresistible, and a constant battle for those that can see them. Follow the possibilities and probabilities too far and the human mind shatters, leaving the Threader a mindless, drooling husk. Out of his element, Darwin must learn how to control the Threads and possibly join the hated Qabal to find the path back to his dad.īut Thread use comes at a price. Threads-thought of as a gift from the machine he helped his father create-and Threaders are both loved and hated, treated as gods by some and as criminals by others. On an alternate Earth ravaged by war, Darwin is torn between the Qabal and SafeHaven, his only goal to find a way back home and stop the same fate from happening in his time line.
Pulled from his world by an experiment gone wrong, Darwin Lloyd is one of the few that can see the Threads-quantum strings that can be manipulated to change or control reality. This first book of a new sci-fi series introduces an alternate earth where powerful Threads have the power to alter reality as we know it.
