The Janus Gambit

About this book

Operating on the fringes of the collapsing Vorathian Concordance, an independent salvage crew raids an uncharted alien megastructure in the radioactive Veil Nebula. A catastrophic malfunction during the heist activates the Janus Gate, fracturing reality and splitting the crew across two parallel universes. In Timeline Alpha, they face a brutal existence of resource scarcity and ruthless pirate fleets; in Timeline Omega, they navigate a realm of technological abundance quietly being consumed by an undetectable sentient entropy plague. As agonizing 'bleed events' begin transferring memories, physical trauma, and objects across the dimensional divide, the crew realizes they can influence both realities. Hunted by the Concordance's immortal gene-lords in both timelines, the fractured crew must overcome addiction, engineered rage, deep-seated guilt, and internal betrayal. They are forced to orchestrate a desperate, synchronized gambit across realities to merge the timelines safely, risking their own identities to prevent the recursive extinction of all sentient life.
