About This Book

A physicist whose wife and children are killed by a loose atomic vortex becomes the sole specialist capable of extinguishing such vortices, using mathematical insight and specialized equipment. Haunted by loss, he performs daring missions across space, neutralizing dangerous vortices while preferring solitude. A weak distress signal draws him to a stranded lifeboat and to a pair of twin-like planets whose nearly identical peoples are embroiled in conflict, forcing him into a broader interplanetary crisis that tests his skills, ethics, and damaged will.
